Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The data supplied here comes from the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The reporting period was from June 2012 to July 2013, as a result the total number of students does not match that of IC-3.
Texas A&M is firmly committed to community service, so much so that one of our six core values is Selfless Service. Our score for this category does not accurately reflect the investment our students make every year in community service because at this time we are unable to capture the total number of volunteers and the hours they dedicate to selfless service.
The numbers for this credit come from two sources we were able to capture. First, a unique one day service event our students organize called The Big Event. Through service-oriented activities, The Big Event promotes campus and community unity as students come together for one day to express their gratitude for the support from the surrounding community. The Big Event is the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation. Recently, The Big Event has expanded to over 75 other schools across the nation. The second avenue we were able to capture community service numbers was from self-evaluation reports from Greek organizations.
