University of Toronto’s 2022-2023 Community Engaged Learning (CEL) Sustainability Inventory
The CEL Sustainability Course Inventory gathers information about all sustainability-related undergraduate courses at the University of Toronto with a community engaged learning component (public, civil or private sector). This CEL inventory builds off of U of T’s Sustainability Course Inventory, an inventory that contains all sustainability-related courses based on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Sustainability Community-Engaged Learning Courses must cover the following criteria:
- it is a credit-bearing academic course with full or partial CEL component
- it takes place in partnership with a community or grassroots, non-profit or for-profit, public or private, or non-governmental organization
- it responds to partner-led priorities
- it is reciprocal so both the community partner and the students benefit from the engagement students undertake reflection that connects their community engagement to the learning outcomes of the initiative
- it works towards one or more of the sixteen United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 2022-23 CEL course inventory includes 119 sustainability oriented CEL courses. The purpose of the CEL sustainability course inventory is to increase the visibility of sustainability courses that foster community engagement and partnerships. In the 2022-23 Sustainability Undergraduate Course Inventory, the following ten CEL keywords were used to filter for potential CEL courses: *placement, *community, *experiential, *internship, *partner, *client, *service, *capstone, *office, *professional. The search results were then manually reviewed for quality assurance by CECCS. Any output deemed irrelevant to CEL based on the course description has been removed.
If you are an instructor at the University of Toronto and think that a CEL course should be included in or removed from this inventory, please contact ayako.ariga@utoronto.ca.
