"Community Service-Learning is a model of experiential learning that combines classroom learning with volunteer work designed to achieve community goals and to instill in students a sense of civic engagement." - The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, 2014
Community Service Learning (CSL) is a milestone (a mandatory non-course degree requirement) in the PharmD program. There are three phases to this milestone. To progress through the phases, students are expected to demonstrate at least minimal competence in each component. The phases must be completed in order.
CSL enables students to better understand their role in serving vulnerable populations and in improving community health and wellness. Through this interaction, pharmacy students add to their own knowledge of various socio-economic factors that impact health and look for ways to improve services, structures and systems to alleviate differences in health outcomes between groups.
Achievement of the CSL milestone is a requirement for graduation.
A coordinator is in place to provide support and resources to assist students and to balance the learning goals of the students with the needs of the community.
Current students can find more information about the CSL milestone on LEARN.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
