Making a Difference

Members of the Student Affairs Council participate in the Blitz Build of the Class of 2007's Habitat House in Orange County on Saturday, January 20, 2007.

The Division of Student Affairs offers scheduled community service program opportunities to any permanent (full-time or part-time employee).

UNC provides all full-time staff with 24 hours per calendar year of community service leave (part time staff will receive a pro-rated number of community service leave hours). Like other types of non-emergency leave, community service leave must be requested in advance and may not be used without management's approval. When considering a request for community service leave, management will consider both the employee's request and operating needs of the office. More information on the University's Community Service Leave Policy can be found at the Office of Human Resources website.

The organization selected for the Division’s service initiative:

Ronald McDonald House  (Please login with your ONYEN)
The Ronald McDonald House provides a welcome calm and stability to the familes who stay in the area during trying times. DSA volunteer staff will work as needed in the house or outside with landscaping, etc.

If you have any questions, regarding the Divisional Community Service Program, please contact the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at (919) 966-4045. .

The Carolina Center for Public Service offers a data base which is available to provide a centralized way for staff to access information about many ways the University serves the state. Community Service opportunities can be found at http://ccps.unc.edu/database/main.jsp.
