Experiential Learning Community Engaged Learning at MacEwan University is a project-based teaching-learning strategy that connects classroom theory to challenges experienced in the “real world” by our Community Partners. Free Partnership Opportunity- Research and innovative communication project focused on Priority Populations (Example: Indigenous Peoples, LGBTQ+ Communities, Immigrants and Refugees, Homeless, Women and Children, etc.) and Public Health Priorities such as Food Security, Gender equality, Climate change, Gender-based violence, Human trafficking, Opioid crisis, Safe and clean water, Mental health, Emergency preparedness, etc. We’re looking for community partners interested in working with our senior nursing students (4th year) to evaluate existing interventions and services pertaining to a priority population, ultimately aiming to create innovative and evidence-based communication strategies, programs, or services that are sustainable and socially, and ecologically oriented and aim to promote health equity and equality in priority populations. The projects will promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals. https://sdgs.un.org/goals What you get:

For Winter 2025, we have 2nd-year Political Science classes where student teams work with our community partners on their real-world needs. Are you working on a complex public policy issue that has far-reaching impacts on citizens, governments and society? MacEwan’s politics science students can help. Once you select an issue, students break it down into its component parts, identify linkages, and propose different options for addressing it. The students will apply theories and concepts about how public policy is made as well as knowledge and insights about your chosen policy area. The deliverables from this exercise will be a report with recommendations and an in-person presentation that members of your organization can attend.

  POLS/ECON 344   Policy and Program Analysis Opportunity with MacEwan University Do you have a policy, program or service that could make a difference in people's lives but needs to be formally analyzed? MacEwan University’s political science students can work with your organization, in the government, private or non-profit sector, to assess, document and present the outcomes that your initiative could produce, who it would affect and how much it would cost. The analysis will provide information and resources that can inform internal decisions and be shared externally with funders, stakeholders and the public. In the winter 2025 term, our student teams will work with your organization to conduct an analysis of your chosen initiative after they receive training in formal policy analysis techniques (e.g. cost-benefit analysis, GBA+) as part of their senior level political science seminar. Your organization is expected to meet periodically with the students to advise them and provide or connect the student team with the information needed to complete their analysis.
