AAU 2008 Community Service Websites
Introduction
It is widely recognized that U.S. research universities conduct cutting-edge research that fuels national innovation and educates the technical leaders of tomorrow, but it may not be as widely appreciated that major research universities also support a broad array of public service activities in their communities. Faculty members and staff - and especially students - around the country are helping improve the quality of life in their communities, often in support of the most disadvantaged residents.
In October 1996, under the leadership of Tulane University, the Association of American Universities (AAU) began compiling a directory of community service and outreach programs at its member universities. The 2008 directory marks the 11th edition of this annual on-line publication.
Each university listing here includes one or more university Web sites that can provide detailed information about each school's activities.
