Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data Source: Annual Report found at WCU Service-Learning & Volunteer Programs (https://www.wcupa.edu/_services/stu.slv/aboutUs.aspx) and additional data compiled by Pamela Frontino, Associate Director, Office of Service Learning and Volunteer Programs. Student service hours entered only represent academic service learning hours and not co-curricular service hours. Reporting documents both academic service learning hours and co-curricular program service hours, but because 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, co-curricular hours are not included in the total hours.
