DEFINITION - KPI 16

One measure of service for the public good was an item found on a national survey that invited senior students to indicate whether they had participated in community service or volunteer work in their duration at CMU.  Data collected signifies self-reported acts of public service have remained stable, as the trivial effect size implies no meaningful differences exist between years.

Additional Clarifications:

  • This survey was not conducted in FY07; therefore, no data will be added for this measure at this time.   The sample is randomly selected.

  •  The weighting system used allows for comparability between years and class rank, as it controls for N-size, enrollment status, and gender.

  • This percentage is only based on senior students' responses.

  • New Data should be available in Nov./Dec. of each participating year.
