Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Our figures are based on the work of our student service organizations, the number of students involved and the number of individuals that visit the Office of Community Service and Learning for support. In reality, the number of students engaged in community service is probably much higher.
By and large, the figures don’t reflect student participation in the academic realm (service-learning). Service-Learning differs from community service in that service-learning connects directly to a course through in-class reflection and shared learning. The time commitment varies. Some courses require up to a 20-hour out-of-class placement, others participate in a short, one-time activity.
The Thompson School offers a degree or certificate in Community Leadership. All students must be involved in community work throughout the 2-year program.
