McLean relayed how the community-engaged learning experience with UVic fostered a reciprocal relationship and introduced different skills/ resources into their organization: “The students brought knowledge and energy to the program. They were flexible and supported Artemis to reach their desired goals.” The work conducted for a semester of CEL will continue to have lasting impacts moving forward!
Johnston-Watson shared that she “didn’t realize how much I would appreciate that [CEL] is an option for classes until I did it. The biggest thing about the CEL part was that it was the first time that I felt like I got real experience and an understanding of what any of my classes were actually for.”
