Is CSL right for your organization?

Here are some questions to ask when you consider preparing your CSL proposal:

  • Compatibility – Is the course offering a good fit for our organizational need?

  • Scope – Can we chunk our "need" into a project that can be completed in a short academic term (approx 9 - 12 weeks) by students working only part-time (3-7 hours/week/student)

  • Preparation - Do we understand exactly what our goals are around this project and how that fits with the course offering and the student learning goals?

  • Organizational Capacity – Do we have the organizational time, capacity and experience to organize and coordinate a CSL project?

  • Supervision and Communication – Do we have a staff member who has the time and commitment to support the CSL students and who can communicate effectively with all of the stakeholders?

  • Evaluation – Do we have the capacity, and the will, to take the time to assess and reflect on the CSL process and offer and accept feedback to improve the experience for all stakeholders?

If you have any questions, or concerns, please contact Lori DeLuca, Member Services Coordinator at (403)231-1428. Thank you for your interest!
