Community Service**
*There are many more established student clubs that do not go through the ASWC recognition process andtherefore there is no good way of tracking them. These groups include the a capella choirs, WhitmanInvestment Club, and some religious groups.**Community service is reported for the previous year rather than estimating the current year. Numbers forcommunity service participation are estimates. Many Whitman students do volunteer work without formallygoing through our Center for Community Service.
