      ab: Service-learning (SL) is a high impact pedagogy that helps to enhance student holistic development and civic engagement. To provide effective Service-Learning subjects, the collaboration between the university, community and corporate partner is indispensable. In Hong Kong, with the support and collaboration of Wharf (Holdings) Limited, we participated in the Project WeCan in the past years, including the COVID-19 pandemic years. Obviously, there is a need to understand the effectiveness of related Service-Learning projects under in period involving the pandemic. In this study, we collected feedback from 650 university students on their perceptions of the subject, instructors and benefits of the Service-Learning subjects. Consistent with studies before the pandemic years, students generally had very positive perception of the SL subject and its benefits on the university students. Perceived subject quality, instructor quality, benefits and overall satisfaction were significantly correlated; perceived subject and instructor qualities predicted perceived benefits and overall satisfaction. The present findings reinforce the thesis that university-corporate-community partnership through Project WeCan is an effective means to enhance civic engagement and holistic development in university students.
