Businesses can contribute to the 카지노 게임 컬렉션greater good카지노 게임 컬렉션 and a new mandatory third-year Commerce course is immersing students in community-engaged project-based learning to demonstrate that potential. As one component of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in the Community goal that is part of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Strategy, community-engaged learning makes it possible for students to develop practical skills relevant to their fields of study and develop a sense of civic responsibility and social awareness.

카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s important to get students thinking about how through business they can address issues affecting our community, country, and planet.

Students are divided into groups and given the opportunity to meet with an organization to work on projects that address community-identified challenges. In fall 2023, the students worked with the City of Kingston. One project addressed the low engagement of residents with active transportation methods and the other involved the Better Homes Kingston Loan Program that encourages residents to make their homes more energy-efficient and explored how to reach more demographics.
Courses like COMM 306 - Business for Good, first designed by Jean-Baptiste Litrico, Associate Professor of Strategy and Organizations, are made possible by the efforts of the Smith Business Experiential Learning (EL) Team in the Career Advancement Centre as they were heavily involved in supporting the start-up by sourcing opportunities and building the partnership with the City of Kingston.
