There's no truth to the statement that the next generation isn't developing their own tradition of volunteering. One group of students from 526 SUNY Potsdam have made their mark by putting in with more than 1,490 hours – an astounding 62 days – of volunteer service as part of the Office of Experiential Education's Make A Difference Week. SUNY reported this was an increase of 16 percent in student volunteers and a 70 percent increase in volunteer hours over last year.
