Abstract	This study investigates the relationship between reflective practices in college service-learning programs and alumni's current reflective practices. Additionally, this study explores how graduates' present reflective practices help to shape their civic and professional identities. Mixed methods using survey and interview data explore reflective practice in the lives of alumni from three multi-term community engagement programs. The research reaffirms the importance of reflective practice in college-level community engagement programs in influencing reflective practice after graduation. The results of this study strongly suggest that multi-term, community engagement programs, where critical reflection is continuous and occurs in a variety of ways, support a reflective practice that persists in the lives of program graduates, helping them develop their civic and professional identities.
