Research Shop 10th Anniversary Posters

The Research Shop is one of five programs through which the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) fulfills its mandate to bring together community and campus skills and resources to directly support and carry out community-engaged scholarship and develop others' capacities tto do so. At the Research Shop, staff and graduate students work with local and regional organizations to design and carry out projects that address community research priorities. To mark the 10th anniversary of the Research Shop in 2019, these posters were created to highlight ten research projects completed in collaboration with a variety of community partners from Guelph and Wellington. See the thumbnails below, and click the links for the full-sized posters and full-length reports from each project.
