The survey catalogues 695,797 hours of UVU employees’ contributions to their community and the world around them, ranging from consulting and academic presentations to Sub for Santa and Cub Scouts. Although it would be dangerous to assume non-responders would have the same amount of engagement hours, the total hours reported serve as a baseline minimum.
Total hours were self-categorized into ten different groups. 35% of all hours reported fell into two groups, Academic / Creative Pursuits, and Religious / Church Service.
