Abstract

Research from one large public university highlights that on average, of the 10,000 students who graduate, 650 students, or 8% of participating graduates, indicate ‘volunteering' or ‘taking time off' as their immediate next step post-graduation. This creates a ‘service year' opportunity. A pilot study was conducted on the civic value of national service within a population of students who graduated from one large public university and participated in at least one national service program to understand the civic value of national service. The pre-, during-, and post-service year experiences are examined with respect to ethical dilemmas and best practices within higher education leadership. Action steps for ethical best practices created by institutional leadership will foster a connection for students and national service opportunities as a pathway from college to career.
