Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Data on community service hours from students is based on 2019-2020 and is moderately impacted by COVID when the college closed in March 2020. The data does not include service-hours completed by Greek organizations on campus. These organizations contribute an additional 10,000+ hours of service in the community, but we don't formally track it.
