Research Plan
After receiving approval from the CWSA Interim Director the two surveys will be distributed to the CWSA student body and the CWSA Executive and Social Committee. The survey data will greatly inform the formal report.
Writing Schedule

The workload is appropriate as the two surveys will produce ample information to inform my recommendations. There is no cost involved in the report besides my labour.
