About CU Expo 2011 Roundtables

Starting in September 2010, there will be a series of Roundtable discussions held in various locations around the Waterloo Region leading up to CU Expo 2011. The Roundtable Series is envisioned:

• To facilitate dialogue among community members and academics regarding ideas, perspectives, and practices that are enhancing community-university relationships and thereby supporting their potential for greater positive community impact;
• To raise the profile of CU Expo in the Waterloo and Wellington Regions and build momentum for community support and participation in the 2011 conference;
• To raise profile of CU Expo in international communities and enhance pre-conference engagement, through the use of technology whenever possible to share these events.
