Frequently Asked Questions about CSC

Top 6 Most Common Questions:

1. What does CSC stand for? What's the history of the name?

The history of our office's many names: our office began as part of the Chaplain's Office of JHU and broke off as its own separte entity in 1991. We then became the Office of Volunteer Services. Later, we changed our name to the Office of Community Relations and Volunteer Services to better reflect our strong link with the Baltimore community. But folks kept getting us confused with JHU's Office of Community Affairs and mistaking our efforts for public relations work. So, we changed our name one last time--to The Center for Social Concern--to demonstrate our commitment to volunteering and concern for community, in both thought and action.
