Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The number of students engaging in community service was collected by CCSR from a variety of service organizations and departments across campus. While it contains tracking from groups only on the Lawrence campus, it does not account for individuals who may have volunteered multiple times. These may be counted more than onece.
In addition to programs and services by the Center for Community Outreach to connect students to service opportunities, the Center for Civic and Social Responsibility (www.ccsr.ku.edu) provides support and resources for faculty in designing and implementing service learning courses. The Center also assists the University Registrar in documenting student participation in a designated service learning experience, coordinates or facilitates communications between other offices of teaching or service at KU, and advocates for service learning at KU by offering high visibility events or resources (i.e. workshops, seminars, public lectures, etc.).
