This research-to-practice full paper discusses experiences and lessons learned from our EPICS@BUTLER (engineering Projects in Community Service at Butler) program. The program, housed within the department of computer Science and softwareengineering, is part of a college of Liberal Arts and Sciences and serves a diverse population of students with multi-disciplinary backgrounds. The EPICS curriculum is driven by a team-based service-learning pedagogical model. EPICS teams learn how to work together effectively while addressing the immediate IT needs of our non-profit partner clients, navigating their budgetary restrictions, and coping with any lack of existing IT infrastructure. During the 2020/2021 academic year, we launched an empirical study to review and assess EPICS@BUTLER. The study's main goal was to learn from the past 20 years of running the EPICS program by soliciting input from all parties involved. We aimed to improve and expand our service-learning model within an LAS context. More specifically, this study included surveying alumni and current undergraduate students in order to understand the successes and areas of potential improvement within our program. In addition, we conducted one-on-one interviews with our community non-profit partners as well as volunteer team mentors to assess the program's effectiveness and community impact. Based on the empirical data we gathered and analyzed, we discuss how the existing curriculum is effective at providing fulfilling experiences which help our alumni secure jobs after graduation. In addition, we found that the practice of allowing supervised teams to navigate their own EPICS projects helps them improve their professional maturity and interpersonal skills. In summary, this paper discusses an empirical study and aims to leverage the results gathered from our surveys and interviews in order to present a plan for continuous improvement and modernization of our on-going EPICS program. In closing, our paper descri
