Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The number of students participating and hours contributed was calculated based on data provided by the Holleran Center for Community Action and by Student Engagement. The Holleran Center primarily runs long-term community service placements, including some paid by Work Study. All Recognized Student Organizations are required to complete 15 hours of community service per semester and report those to Student Engagement.

There may be some students who are double-counted because they participate in community service through the Holleran Center AND through their student organization, but we believe that number to be low.
