URL Updated on 11/24/13. In 2008, UMass Amherst was granted the Carnegie status of 'Public Engaged Campus,' and we are reapplying in 2014. There are three units on campus that can provide information about student community service engagement: 1. The office of Community-Based Learning has a created a database of classes, students, faculty, etc. involved in CBL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atiidgt5Z7IkdGhwVXFRTWpLN1J3Z0o5SmYyZzFtWUE&usp=sharing#gid=0 Their estimate for 2013-2014: 3,903 students 2. Campus Greek organizations: http://www.umass.edu/greek/ Their estimate: 5.5% of campus population based on full time student population of 2013-2014: 1,084 students 3. The Office of Student Life holds 2 community service days/year: http://www.umass.edu/studentlife/involved/community-service Their estimate for 2013-2014: Mass impact day; 400 students Volunteer week in spring: 200 students total number of known student volunteers : 3,903 students 1,064 students 600 students = 5,567 students This doesn't include students who volunteer in internships, during the summer, through their religious institutions, or during spring break, which is why we estimate a total of 6,500 students.
