A survey of 850 first-time university students assessing interests in campus volunteer opportunities and the relationship between incentives and interest found students did not differentiate between serving as a volunteer, earning course credit as a volunteer, and earning a monetary award as a volunteer. Implications for student affairs are discussed. (Author/MSE)
