**Summary:** This workshop will present case studies of the diverse ways individual states use the Campus Compact (CC) Annual Member Survey. Each year, the national CC Member Survey collects a diverse range of data from member institutions related to their campus’s civic engagement and service-learning performance, along with measures of institutional infrastructure and culture in support of these activities. The Member Survey provides an annual snapshot of the overall civic engagement profile of member institutions within each state and nation. Several states will identify strategies utilized to assess members' institutionalizing of service-learning and civic engagement and propose strategic directions.

This presentation will present the unique ways different states choose to conduct their analyses to meet the needs of their member campuses and inform the strategic directions of their state offices.

The Campus Compact Member Survey is one of the few annual surveys that collect information on the current state of community service/service-learning/ civic engagement throughout the country. The importance of the data collected by the Member Survey is twofold: 1) These data provide national and state-wide snapshots of the overall health of a national movement to promote and support engaged scholarship at colleges and universities throughout the nation and 2) these data provide fruitful ground for the identification of more probing research agendas that can drill down into the different component parts of this work.
