Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Student hours were tracked on AUinvolve and GivePulse, the official tracking platform for the university. http://wp.auburn.edu/involve/service-programs/agb/ Student data only was contributed by Charlotte Brown. We obtained 3 years of data. However, due to Covid, instead of reporting the most recent year, we took the average of the later 2 years, which are more typical of our performance. Data from 2 & 3 years ago are very similar, while data from last year is much different from the other 2 years.

Community Assistance Leave was announced in March 2019. https://ocm.auburn.edu/newsroom/campus_notices/2019/03/121529-communityserviceleave.php Information on Employee Community Assistance Leave was written up by Jennifer Morse.

While hours of community service leave taken by an employee on their time card would be captured through timesheets, it does not track all the service hours contributed by employees through programs it sponsors.
