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 institutions
entitled 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 Communication, Leadership, and Social
Innovation in the Faculty of Arts. 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

questionnaire. If you have any questions about CSL and community-engaged
learning please feel free to contact us at phone or email addresses listed
