Log Your Volunteer Hours Online

All students can officially log volunteer hours online through UEngage. You'll need the date, number of hours, site name, and contact information to verify your hours. You can also request an official report of your volunteer hours if you ever need to provide proof of your volunteer history.

For more information on this system, contact Karyssa Vasquez at kv54@evansville.edu.
