promotion of new, diverse projects• Solidifying the definition of community service for clarification:

“If you answer YES to any of these questions, the hours DO NOT count as community service:– Does the event only raise money towards a certain cause and not provide

another service to the target population?– Does the event only target the PCOM community (defined as faculty, staff, and

students that either work for or are students at PCOM)?”
