collaborative communications problem solving collaboration teamwork diversity and inclusion professionalism leadershipFor Fall 2024, 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.
