Opportunity to participate in a survey re: Community Service Learning

[Lynne Jelokhani-Niaraki]

Greetings,


CSL at UW(Community Service Learning at the University of Waterloo) is a
research group exploring community-engaged learning on campus and in the
broader community. We are conducting an ethics approved research project in
partnership with the K-W community and other educational
institutionsentitled Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn: Community Service
Learning at the University of Waterloo and in the Broader Community. The
lead investigator is Dr. Diana Denton in the Department of Communication,
Leadership, and Social Innovation. Please see the attached General
Information form for more details into our research.

The ultimate purpose of this study is to propose a Community Service
Learning (CSL) model for the University of Waterloo. This model would aid
the university in designing effective ways to work with the community to
deliver deeply engaging learning experiences for students as well as
capacity-building services for the community.

In order to propose a model that best reflects the university and the
community, we seek to capture past, present and future CSL related
activities on campus. This email is to invite you to complete a short
4-question survey. This should take less than 5 minutes of your time.  
If you prefer not to complete the survey on the web, please contact us and
we will make arrangements to provide you another method of participation. If
you are interested in proceeding, please fill out the attached consent form
and send it back to cbird at uwaterloo.ca
