2. National Guests
• NASCE (April)
• GivePulse (George)
• SolutionsU from the
Solutions Journalism Network

3. • Web-based survey of undergraduates
National Assessment of Service
& Community Engagement
• Current comparative dataset of more than
65,000+ students from 85+ institutions
• Measures the rate, frequency, and depth of student
community engagement across 9 areas of human
need.
• Assesses student perceptions of, motivations for,
and obstacles to community service
• Identifies primary avenues through which students
serve
• Gauges student attitudes towards institutional
service promotion
• Web-based survey of undergraduates

4. Students individually take survey online and
individual data is recorded by SCRI.
Over the course of 12 days, 4 email invitations
are sent in total. The first is sent to all students;
follow-ups are sent to non-respondents.
NASCE Methodology
SCRI uses individual student email addresses to
send survey invitations to all undergraduates.
Survey is customized to each school. Survey is
voluntary, confidential, and anonymous.
Deliverables include Final Report, Data
Frequencies, Data Cross Tabulations.

5. The NASCE computes the POP Score by assigning values
to those students who perform service in each area:
• Engaged in any of the nine areas.
o Yes (1)
o No (0)
• Frequency.
o Once or twice a year (1)
o Several times a year or once a month (2)
o Several times a month (3)
o Weekly or more (4)
• Depth.
o An event or drive; one-shot (1)
o Regular basis for a period of time or a service trip (2)
o Deeply involved and dedicated to a project or cause (3).
Percent of the Possible (POP) Scores

6. As backbone of strategic plan
Institutions use NASCE Data…
To make informed, collaborative, and focused decisions
on how and in what areas to improve service
participation, frequency, and pervasiveness
To implement and institutionalize necessary practices and
programs to move all students along the continuum of service
To facilitate community engagement discussions on
campus with faculty and administrators
To assess current climate of service and identify all
avenues through which students engage in service
To cyclically measure and quantify campus-wide community
engagement; as bi-annual assessment tool to continuously
evaluate institutional progress 6

Bonner campuses can participate in the Zero Hunger Campus
Network that has four components:
u Students complete Zero Hunger Academy
u Students collaborate to conduct local policy research,
culminating in a Zero Hunger Community Report
u Students will organize a public forum on their campuses to
present the findings from their Zero Hunger Community
Reports
u Students launch an advocacy campaign or develop a
capacity building project to address the needs or gaps in
services identified in the Zero Hunger Community Report

13. Zero Hunger Internship Program
u Seven-week program summer program that will provide
interns with robust learning opportunities and exposure to
anti-hunger advocacy on the federal level.
u The 2018 interns will work at the Alliance to End Hunger,
Feeding America, The Bread for the World Institute, and
RESULTS, supervised by experts in anti-hunger policy.
u Their work plans will take them to advocacy days, events
on the Hill, and coalition meetings.

17. SolutionsU Teaching Resources
• Teaching Collections are curated selections of stories on topics and
success factors accompanied by discussion questions. Let us know if you'd
like to share one you've created!
• Assignment Ideas engage students in exploring issues, analyzing
strategies, applying theories and imagining (or even creating) solutions --
all based on stories about solutions to social and environmental problems.
Get in touch if you'd like support creating a SolutionsU™ assignment!
• Syllabi are examples of courses where faculty have integrated
SolutionsU™ resources throughout the quarter or semester.
• Course Modules can be used individually to supplement an existing
course or select several to build a new course using solutions journalism
stories. SolutionsU™ partners with educators to create these valuable
teaching materials.
• How To Guides are step-by-step instructions for using our resources,
making it easy for you to get your students (and yourself) up and running
on SolutionsU™.
