STUDENTS COMMUNITY PARTNERS CSL NewsLeo Charbonneau has written an article entitled Community Connections for University Affairs which tracks the growth of Community Service-Learning programs across Canada. Following up on a cover story published just over five years ago, Charbonneau interviewed a number of key informants across the country to provide an overview of current activities, concluding that "Students are the driving force behind the rapid growth of community service learning projects across the country". The article will appear in the October 2009 print edition of the magazine and a summary can be viewed online at http://www.universityaffairs.ca/community-connections.aspx
