This is one approach to tacke this problem
<cfset form.contact_correspondence = 'testing'>
<cfset the_field =
listToArray("contact_correspondence,contact_email,contact_event_off_campus,")>
<cfset theLen = arraylen( the_field )>
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#theLen#">
<cfset variables[the_field[i]] = false>
<cfif structkeyexists( form, the_field[i] )>
<cfset variables[the_field[i]] = true>
</cfif>
<cfoutput>#variables[the_field[i]]#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
