Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Undergraduate and graduate students spend a significant amount of time completing the service components of service-learning courses and community based participatory research projects and co-curricular activities sponsored by various departments and student organizations on campus. On average, over 1,700 students complete anywhere between 10-300 hours of service in one of 211 service learning courses, as designated by their professor.

Established in 1999 by two undergraduate students, Campus Kitchen is a food security program that uses cooked, but never served, food from the campus dining hall to make healthy and nutritious meals for those suffering from food poverty in our community. Each year over 5,000 meals are delivered, over 500 volunteers give more than 2,400 hours of their time, and help save more than 5,400 pounds of food.
