Note: Students can only submit service hours for organizations for which they are listed as members, which is why it is critical that your rosters are up to date! Why should our group’s members log their service hours themselves? Why can’t we just submit an Excel spreadsheet at the end of the semester like we used to? Having members log their service hours themselves distributes the work of recording what the group has done more evenly among the group members. It also allows for more accurate recording of who has served and for how long. The Center for Social Concern is often asked to provide this sort of data for internal and external surveys, applications, and reports, and using the Track it Forward system will increase the accuracy of the data we are able to provide. 23 | P a g e
