Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
A community service question (below) was included as part of a comprehensive sustainability survey administered in the fall of 2021. First launched in 2012, the survey was administered annually up to 2015, then again in 2018, and most recently in 2021. Based on guidelines provided by the Survey Research Operations unit of the U-M Institute for Social Research, the selection of the sample of students was made by the U-M Office of the Registrar. In order to be eligible for selection, two key sample parameters were identified and defined the sampling frame --- 1) full-time undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, and 2) students who were registered for the fall semester on the Ann Arbor campus. In order to reach the targeted number of students from each undergraduate cohort and from graduate students, names were selected from each group (strata) who were contacted and invited to participate in the survey. A total of 14,499 students were contacted with a 24.1% overall response rate. D52: Students were first asked: “Have you done community service in the past year? This would be time for any type of community service – not just service related to sustainability – that was not for credit, pay, or any type of mandated requirement?” If the response was “yes,” respondents received the following question: D23: About how many hours did you perform community service during the past year? (Respondents were provided with an open ended text box) Responses ranged from 0-1200 hours. Using these responses, the following calculations have been completed for EN13: Community Service.
Part 1
2,150 students of 3,489 respondents (61.6%) said yes to the community service question. Building from the efforts that were taken to ensure a representative sample, this equates to 30,971 students (61.6%) out of 50,278 students enrolled at the University of Michigan in the fall of 2021.
Part 2
The 2150 respondents reported completing a total of 78,293 community service hours in the past year. Building from the efforts that were taken to ensure a representative sample, for the entire student population (50,278) this equates to 1,830,890 community service hours.
