Program Capstone Courses have provided the community and vice-versa over the past 3 years. The opportunity for a two-way exchange of knowledge has greatly enhanced the course experiential education component while providing an immersive learning environment. Students have planned, developed, and implemented several workshops and one-to-one writing supports; participated in community-based orientations and career exploration with local high school students; engaged in content development for local and grassroots organizations; and supported the outreach and promotion of the CEC\u2019s programs, services and supports. Students who have demonstrated passion and enthusiasm have received recommendations or referrals from the CEC as the went on to continue their academic careers, applied for employment opportunities in writing spaces (newscasting stations, advertising firms, international writing projects), and\/or continued volunteering in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2014 Byron Gray, Manager of the 快播视频 TD
