Fresno State students, faculty and staff provided more than 1.44 million hours of service to the community during the 2017-2018 academic year, setting a new campus record for engagement and service-learning.

The Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning announced the estimated economic impact of service at $40.3 million.

“This makes the ninth year in a row that Fresno State has provided over 1 million hours of service annually,” said Chris Fiorentino, director of the center. "While this figure is impressive, the actual impact on those who served and those who benefited from the service is probably much greater —both financially and in non-financial ways."
