Service Hours Tracking

If you or your student organization participates in service, please share your good work with the Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement. We are working to track the number of service hours contributed at Elmhurst this year and we'd like to include your efforts! Since we know that so many student organizations and individuals serve here at the college, we want to be able to tell everyone what we're doing and help others to get involved, too! So, if you're doing service, contact Laura Wilmarth Tyna at wilmarthtynal@elmhurst.edu to report your hours.

Thanks!
