Community Service Learning
CSL is a form of experiential learning that enriches and enhances classroom teaching and the student experience. This innovative pedagogical model allows students to get involved in their community by participating in course-based projects or volunteer work that are related to their program of study.

Community Engagement
Beyond the Community Service Learning program, which integrates volunteer hours and classwork, the Centre promotes volunteer opportunities with community partners located on and off campus for all its members: students, staff, faculty graduates and retirees.
