Fwd: University of Notre Dame Path to Service Endeavor

To clarify my original inquiry, we are actually looking into service 
opportunities for the faculty, staff, and administration for the University 
of Notre Dame as opposed to the student body.   We have a Center for Social 
Concerns on-campus which handles the latter.

Do you know of any universities which offer community service hours within 
their employee benefit plan?  There are a few corporations in America which 
have incorporated this plan into their benefit plan, but I am not sure if 
any universities actually address this.   If not, how about any special 
projects within the community which are employer provided?

Thanks again for your attention.
