Each September since 2002, the CPS monthly survey has included a supplemental survey on volunteering, sponsored by CNCS. These supplements have provided researchers with annual data on volunteering that have served as the data source for several CNCS research reports. Most volunteering research in the United States has relied on the data from these individual, annual “modern-day” supplements our approach offers a broader historical view by including data not just from the 2002 to 2015 supplement but also earlier supplements (1974 and 1989), in order to track historical changes in volunteering.[12]
University Leadership
In December 2014, Purdue University announced that it has chosen Reingold as the next dean of its College of Liberal Arts. He assumed office on March 1, 2015 as the Justin S. Morrill Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University. [13]
Under his leadership, the College launched Degree in 3[14], which enabled students enrolled in each of the College’s 10 academic units the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree in three years. A part of Purdue’s commitment to value in higher education, the Degree in 3 plans can save students thousands of dollars and enable them to enter the workforce earlier. Degree in 3 was highlighted in a Bloomberg feature[15] on Purdue President Mitch Daniels.
In his first year as Dean, Reingold came under fire for efforts to strengthen graduate education by managing graduate student enrollments to help increase stipends to a competitive level as part of a larger goal of raising the academic profile of the College. Within three years, Purdue stipends had increased from $14,000 to $18,000. Reingold advocated for undergraduate student career aspirations by creating Job-Ready, a support fund to assist students on unpaid and low-paid career-launching internships. In 2016, the College opened the Liberal Arts Career Center[16] to support student internship and job search.
In September 2018, Purdue launched Degree+ Program[17], a program created to help students complete two bachelor's degrees without an extension of time to graduate. This initiative would allow students to complete a degree in one college while also completing a liberal arts degree. [18]
