*=leads in hours +=leads in events #=includes Appalachia (112 hrs) June of senior year
In 2011 the recording of hours went digital to keep up with the exponential
growth in community service… prior to then hours may or may not include
112 hours of Appalachia for senior year. All students prior 2011 have
served in Appalachia… some many times beyond their Immaculata years!
Today 3 out of 4 Immaculata students, 76% of the student body, participate
in community service yearly… within their 4 years here, 9 out of 10
students, 89% of the student body, volunteer at some point for something.
Service is not a requirement to graduate from Immaculata! What all these
students have in common is that they’ve had FUN discovering God within
themselves and their fellow man through sharing their altruistic love for their
neighbor, family and community… and a heart once stretched can NEVER
return to its original dimensions.
The year 2015 offered a record breaking 161 volunteer opportunities for the
180 day school year.
