Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In the 2018-2019 academic year, the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) program at the University's Institute for Policy and Resource Engagement completed the following community engagement work with students:
• We have 30 student members who serve 11-month/1700 hour terms of service on an annual basis.
• We anticipate that a minimum of 51,000 hours of service are completed on an annual basis.
The number of hours contributed annually (51,000) is an estimation based on minimum requirements for RARE members.

In addition, the University's Duck Corps program engaged students in the following ways:
DuckCorps had 34 participants for fall 2019, and had 397 total hours.
Days of Service had 282 participants throughout the 2018-2019 school year, with 846 total hours.
This adds up to 316 total participants and 1243 total hours.

In addition, each spring quarter, University of Oregon hosts University Day, an opportunity for the campus community to volunteer to beautify our campus and contribute to our campus community. Approximately 200-300 students participate annually.
