dc.description.abstractThis paper presents an experiential learning project designed to replace a traditional field placement experience for students in the Correctional Services program at MacEwan University. Community Engagement Projects (CEP) were self-directed initiatives developed and implemented by students, undertaken in partnership with community organizations. Faculty members supported the projects through scaffolded assessments and weekly discussion seminars. Details of the CEP will be presented along with student and faculty reflections on the experience. Finally, we will explore options for future iterations of the project.
