ASUS City Engagement Program The ASUS City Engagement Program (ACEP) aims at integrating students both within ASUS and the city of Kingston. Volunteers work closely with a member of the City of Kingston to learn and aid a specific project under their portfolio. The ACEP volunteers meet monthly as a collective to update each other on their respective portfolios in addition to working and planning initiatives and special projects geared to improving relationships between Arts and Science students and the greater Kingston community. They will also receive ongoing support from a member of ASUS Council with insight into their project topic.

Applications will be extended November 20th at 4:00pm EST.

*There will be 16 ACEP interns this year, at Queen's.
