“It was such a wonderful experience to learn and translate community development concepts
and principles into real-world practice. It was an opportunity to foster dialogue
that has built, deepened and strengthened our ability to create a safe community for
all.”
“Personally, through CSL, I have gained an enriching experience all while simultaneously
earning an academic credit and increasing my exposure to the many job opportunities
available after post-secondary education.”
“Thanks to mentoring in the field by our amazing community partners, students leave
Brescia with a much richer educational experience, grounded in both the classroom
and wider community. After graduating from the Community Development Program, students
go forth boldly into the world, confident in their abilities to work in community
with others to create lasting and positive change.”
“Many students told me that they now know better what Dietitians do in community nutrition
and are more interested in a career in this field. As a public health dietitian, it
was an excellent way for me to accomplish community objectives with the energy of
young, aspiring students.”
