Julia- 5th year Anthropology major and a double minor in Psychology and Women and Gender Studies.
Julia (she/her) is in her fifth year at the University of Alberta, working towards her Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Anthropology, and double minoring in Psychology and Women and Gender Studies. She is also the recipient of the CSL Student Equity Award.
Why did you decide to take your first CSL course? I actually didn’t find out about the CSL program until my third year. I love volunteering, and I’m super passionate about community work and service. When I saw that there was a certificate for it, there was no reason why I shouldn’t take a CSL course. The first course I took was CSL 370 in the spring of 2023. It changed my entire outlook on community service, and I wanted to continue with it. 
What CSL placements have you completed?  I’ve completed a placement with Change Reality VR, and I was the facilitation manual curator. I created a facilitation manual, and it was a virtual reality game that helped train people in bystander intervention for street harassment situations. The manual taught people about the bystander effect and the importance of intervening in those situations. Currently, I am completing two placements with the Learning Centre Literacy Association and Humanities 101 Book Club. For the Learning Centre Literacy Association, I am involved with classroom support, coming into classrooms and helping with literacy for anyone who would like to use the services, which range from reading, writing, math, and digital skills. The Humanities 101 Book Club is not your typical book club. It involves people incarcerated at the Edmonton Institutions for Women and is asynchronous in a way. We give people workbooks with given topics every other week, usually around Indigenous knowledges and a variety of readings. It leans more toward learning and education. 
What was your favorite CSL placement, and why?  The Humanities 101 Book Club really caught my attention because it opened my eyes to different communities that I wasn’t quite familiar with or not as involved with prior to my involvement with CSL. Being in this placement allowed me to become involved in things outside my comfort zone. The ability to work with people who are incarcerated and help in a different way than I thought possible was really cool.
 What was the most important/memorable lesson you learned?  The biggest lesson I have learned in CSL is how different community work can look. Before my involvement, the work I did in my community was more so on a large scale. I was very focused on the impact of my actions and tried to figure out ways to optimize the amount of people I was helping. It was often through areas around policies and governance. Through CSL, I was shown the different ways that grassroots initiatives can also help your community and their equal importance in creating change within the community. Something as simple as forming a connection with someone else does a lot more than what people tend to think. The community work I’ve been involved with, such as being in a community garden and meeting many different people, was an impactful and memorable experience for me to have. 
Are you completing the CSL certificate, and why?  Yes, I am working towards completing the CSL Certificate. The certificate was another push that got me to take more CSL courses. Personally, I really like the CSL course I was a part of, but the CSL Certificate is also a significant way to encourage people to take more CSL courses. I think it’s a great addition to your degree and resume and an opportunity to take more CSL courses. 
What does receiving the Student Equity Award mean to you?  I received it last semester in 2023 while I was in my placement with Change Reality VR. Not only did I feel it was a recognition of the work students were doing, but it was incredibly helpful for me financially, as I was working two jobs at the time. With CSL, my placement was already something I expected to do, so being eligible and receiving the Student Equity Award was a nice bonus to have when it came to the work I was already doing. I also think it’s important to encourage more equity-denied students to get involved in CSL because it is really helpful for students and shows appreciation for the work that CSL students are doing. 
How would you sum up your experience with CSL in one sentence? My experience with CSL was really life-changing and world-view-altering, which I will take with me for the rest of my life.
With support from the Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada) and the Canadian federal government, CSL awards scholarships to equity-deserving students for their successful participation in an official CSL course.

TL;DR:
First, the good news: "Only certain strains of a few of these bacteria are significant pathogens [disease spreaders] but the methods used in these studies at best, only get to the species level," said Nicholas Ashbolt, a professor in UAlberta's School of Public Health. In other words, it's not clear what bacteria were identified on the phones and if any would cause infection.
Now the bad news: "Although the presence of these bacteria on our cell phones does not mean we will get sick from them, there is a higher chance that we could become colonized with them," said Jamil Kanji, a U of A infectious disease professor and a physician at Misericordia Hospital. "If colonized, the higher our probability of developing infections due to some of these bacteria, especially if you already have a weakened immune system."
"It's still a case of don't touch things, like other peoples' cell phones, or door handles for that matter, and then touch your nose or mouth without first washing your hands."

Yoojin- 5th Year undergraduate, majoring in psychology
Yoojin (she/her) is a fifth-year psychology major here at the University of Alberta. She is also working towards the Community Service-Learning Certificate and is in the Non-Profit Board Internship Program, placed with the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association. Additionally, she is working towards Applied Social Science Research and International Learning certificates.
Can you trace your involvement with CSL? It was actually a really new journey. I just started in the fall of 2023 with the course CSL 100. Taking a couple of steps back, I heard about CSL through their website and the Faces of CSL blog, and I’ve always thought it was so interesting to be able to go into the community and actually involve myself through such experiential opportunities since I’m also a co-op student. So, I really understand that some of the most valuable learning you can get is not in a lecture hall or classroom. The fact that I could actually take a CSL course was something I was really happy about in the fall of 2023. I took the course with the professor, Jay. I remember when I first signed up for the course, I wasn't sure if I could fit it in with my course schedule or degree requirements, but when I saw his first email saying that I could call him by his first name, it was very personable. I thought the CSL department was really great, and I wanted to learn more about community service-learning. I’m really happy I stuck around because I found these classes to have some of the most insightful conversations in the classroom and with fellow classmates and our professor. My placement was really interesting, and I feel like I learned a lot from it as well.
Why did you decide to take your first CSL course? The first CSL course I took was CSL 100. I really value learning that is outside of the classroom. Contextually speaking, I’m not sure if I have been the most passionate about academia and learning in front of a whiteboard. Thus, when I started doing internships, I found that I learned so many things about myself that I never would have before. I made really valuable community-based interpersonal connections and experiences in my internships. Furthermore, I thought to myself, I can’t always be working, and I would like to graduate eventually. Thus, to take from the best of both worlds was to be in a CSL course where I could meet new people, make an impact, and support people as well.
What CSL placements have you completed so far? I have completed a placement with the Grow Women Leaders. It’s a non-profit organization that helps Black, Indigenous, and women of color (BIPOC women) secure meaningful employment.
What was your favorite CSL placement, and why? My favorite CSL placement has been with Grow Women Leaders in CSL 100. I came out with some valuable lessons, and I remember my last day in the placement when I saw Tracy, the founder of Grow Women Leaders. I recall expressing my wish that she had been there with GROW when my mom first immigrated to Canada. It is because I found the support she gives to all the women and the impact that is happening to be so meaningful. I am the daughter of a POC immigrant mother who had to navigate finding employment. GROW means so much to me because there truly are people out there who are trying to help each other.
What organization are you placed with for your NPBI, and what does the organization work towards? I am placed with the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association in the Edmonton branch. It’s a nonprofit organization and a community for hard-of-hearing folks experiencing hearing loss for all ages and demographics. They love to connect with the heart of the community through fundraising and other fun events as well. This organization provides a method of connection and community, as many members are close outside of the organization as well. I never expected myself to be in this type of organization. When I first applied, I was trying to apply to organizations with demographics that I could personally resonate with or have experiences with because I have friends and family involved with demographics such as immigrants, women, POC, and LGBTQIA+ communities. However, this organization was a different demographic. I found there to be many differences between my mentors and me, yet board meetings have been so valuable, and the board members have been very open to answering all my questions. CHHA-Ed is a great example of a well-functioning, respectful, and kind board as far as non-profit organizations go.
Did CSL expose you to new experiences and knowledge? How and what? It exposed me to humility and showing up. It’s so easy to get caught up in school and feel like certain things are needed on your resume or CV for the future or doing it just for the sake of it, but not for the experience. With CSL, I found that it was able to teach me that, no, it’s not about doing it just so you can tell your employer or research supervisor. It’s about showing up and being there to make an impact, however big or small that is. I initially had different expectations for my placements in terms of what impact looked like. I then realized that no matter how big or small your actions are, you still support a great vision. In my first placement, I was involved in the frontline through calling employers and candidates, such as people in Edmonton and across Canada. I realized it was a great opportunity because my participation in the frontline support helped other members of the organization. It led them to focus on the bigger picture to execute their vision.
Does CSL help you in your career path and future endeavors? On a personal basis, showing up and getting involved in the community with meaningful intention is so valuable in its own way. It’s just like helping a neighbor or friend out. Career-wise, CSL has taught me more about how non-profit organizations function, how many steps are needed, and how much work it takes to execute a mission. I look forward to working with organizations that are based on social justice and advocacy through the non-profit sector. I would also be interested in involving myself as a volunteer, either on a board level or as a general member. In the long run, I would like to get my Master’s in Counseling and become a counselor. My goal is to support such organizations by working as a counselor for them and their communities.
What does receiving the Student Equity Award mean to you? For me, I think the Student Equity Award really encapsulates the heart of CSL. As CSL students, we go out to the community to support them. However, with this award, it feels like the CSL department came to support us, CSL students, as our own community. This award speaks to the intersectionality of CSL. To me, the heart of the community and how we learn to make a change is to make a change that everyone can experience, but that comes with different types of learning and understanding for it to happen. It comes with acknowledgment, reconciliation, and healing. I feel like the Student Equity Awards come to support students with their journeys in school and how they leave change within themselves and to the people and communities around them.
How would you sum up your experience with CSL in one sentence? It can give you a beautiful and authentic lens on life and what to make of it.
With support from the Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada) and the Canadian federal government, CSL awards scholarships to equity-deserving students for their successful participation in an official CSL course.
