Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data Source: WCU Service-Learning & Volunteer Programs 2016-2017 Annual Report Found Here: https://www.wcupa.edu/_services/stu.slv/aboutUs.aspx Student service hours entered only represent academic service learning hours and not co-curricular service hours. The annual report provides both academic service learning hours (707,424) and co-curricular program service hours (50,984). Co-curricular organizations that engage in community service may contain students that were already accounted for in the total number of students that are engaged in community service, therefore co-curricular hours are not included in the total hours.
