“Giving back to our community is fundamental to who we are at App State, and I am proud of our campus community for the many ways we contribute to the communities we serve.”
– App State Chancellor Heather Norris
App State’s Office of Community-Engaged Leadership (CEL) engages App State students in experiential and community-oriented programs that enhance their capacity to serve and lead in socially responsible ways for the benefit of local, regional and global communities.
Over the past decade, App State students participating in CEL service programs, as well as those enrolled in service-learning courses, have completed 319,410 volunteer hours — resulting in more than $11 million contributed to the local community when applying the $34.79 per hour national standard for volunteer time.
