Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Bowdoin students filled 1906 direct service positions during the 2017-2018 fiscal year (some students fill more than one volunteer position) - we don't have individual names in a data base - thus the number of direct service positions is larger than the number of students enrolled for credit.
