Since 1987, Campus Compact has conducted an annual membership survey with the purpose of calculating student and faculty involvement in service and service-learning, understanding faculty roles and rewards, measuring campus infrastructure for community engagement and assessing satisfaction with Campus Compact programs and services.

The 2009 survey results demonstrate the significant achievements of our member campuses in the areas of community service, service-learning, civic engagement, institutional support and campus-community partnerships. California Campus Compact member campuses outpaced the national average in almost every category of the survey.

Among the key findings:

• Students from California Campus Compact member institutions contributed an estimated $778.3 million in service hours during the 2008-2009 academic year.
  
• California Campus Compact member institutions offered 101 service-learning courses on average per campus -- almost double the national average per campus of 55.
  
• An average of 52 faculty members per California campus taught a service-learning course during the year -- almost double the national average per campus of 27.
  
• Community partner involvement in student learning and civic engagement activities continued to be very strong among California Campus Compact member campuses in 2008-2009 with California respondents to the Campus Compact survey averaging 199 community partnerships per campus -- more than double the national average of 96.
