Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Service data is measured via an annual survey conducted by the Dean of Community Service. The 2016-17 survey was the last survey conducted that got enough responses to extrapolate out for the entire campus. The 2019-20 survey was not sent because the Office of Communications asked to hold it in the midst of Covid communications. For this last useable review period, there were approximately 41,626 service hours generated by students. About 34,000 of those hours were organized service activities. Another 7,626 hours were generated by class associated service-learning.

The total number of students collected through this survey only reflects academic affairs-related service. To reflect student affairs programs like soUL camp, honors college, americorps, and BMLA we added the total of participants for the year and subtracted out the 20.78% service learning rate and then added the remaining total to the total number of students serving. This accounts for an additional 2925 students who participate in campus service activities.
