Pro Bono
Overview
Some Jenzabar SONIS member institutions use the Pro Bono page in the Users hub with legal programs that require pro bono work from their students, others use it to record volunteer or experiential learning activities. It is populated by a SONIS administrator or by a student submitting their pro bono activities via the Student or Continuing Education portal.
There are two reports that can be used to track pro bono hours completion. The first, Pro Bono Work, shows the completion date based on the student's pro bono record being marked with a stop date. The second, Pro Bono Required Hours Completed, shows completion based on an hours requirement field set on the System Variables page.
Reports
Pro Bono Required Hours Completed
This report is designed to show when a student has completed their pro bono hours requirement based on records entered on the Pro Bono users page or by the user through their portal. The requirement value is set on the System Variables page. The report displays whether the requirements are completed or not based on this number along with the final date that hours were added to tye SONIS system.
Pro Bono Work
The Pro Bono Work is based on records entered on the Pro Bono users page or by the user through their portal. The report lists each work record separately. The Memo Signed field is marked yes when a user has completed the agreement posted to their portal using the Memos utility.
Memo
You can create and send out a memo that students completing pro bono hours must sign. This memo is located on the Memos page under the Systems menu.
