VolunteerICT is making a difference VolunteerICT is making a difference

The first semester of volunteerICT at Wichita State University is over and Civic Engagement is excited to share the outcomes. During this semester, WSU students tracked more than 2,430 hours of service. Almost every hour of this work happened right here in the Greater Wichita area, meaning that students, faculty, and staff contributed about $51,433.62 worth of people-hours into this city.

Shockers also bring it home by representing their colleges as they volunteer. Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students accounted for 581 hours this year. The College of Health Professions also deserves a shout out for having the highest ratio of hours per student. How does your college stack up?

These jobs are not always glamorous, so we want to take a moment at to say thank you to the Shockers and community partners who make this possible.

None of this would be possible without the 100-plus community partners who coordinated opportunities and managed volunteers. Thank you for opening your doors and sharing your time with us.

A humongous final thank you goes out to the United Way of the Plains and their commitment to the community. The United Way Volunteer Center is the hub of all activity on volunteerICT and we are so thankful for this partnership.
