Alexandra (Alee) Scott is a second year U of Calgary Communications Studies Major and French Minor.
Working towards a career in broadcast journalism, next year she will be at SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology), commencing her Broadcast News diploma. In preparation for SAIT, she volunteers regularly as a reporter and host
at the University of Calgary’s television station, NUTV (New University Television).
This is Alexandra's first community service-learning (CSL) project and thus brings her excitement to learn more about this unconventional learning strategy, as well as her dedication to profiling past CSL experiences in a genuine, unbiased way.

Ann Pham is a fourth year Communications Studies major.
In her third year at the University
of Calgary, she took a detour and enrolled in the Cooperative Education
program, taking a year off to complete an internship at a non-profit
organization. While on this work term, she gained practical skills in event
planning, technical writing, and project management. She is returning to this
organization as a volunteer in spring 2010.
Prior to COMS 463, Ann first experienced community service learning in General Studies 313 – Interdisciplinary Research
Methodology. It was from this course that she gained an appreciation for
experiential learning and education for sustainable development. She hopes that
she can inspire other students to get involved in CSL... something she considers a good
cause.
