  14. What can we do for you aside from funding? • CWIL and OCSE can help you: • shape your ideas • find contacts • advise the project once it gets rolling • help you think about next steps

  15. The idea is not to have perfect projects, but to have engagement that helps build relationships, support student learning. • The goal is to enhance Saint Mary’s and the larger community, and learn from the process.
