Experiential Learning

From conducting research in Nunavut to working at an archaeological dig site to launching a business in the health-care space, co-op placements and experiential learning opportunities are giving students the tools to succeed.

The top prizes went to students who facilitated a community tree-planting event, and a group who helped in the collection and reuse of donated technology.

The Two Row Paddle is at the heart of the new, land-based course that will combine what students learn in the classroom with real community experiences.

The co-op program options - in Economics, Political Science and Work and Labour Studies - build on the faculty's commitment to work-integrated learning.

The partnership between the Faculty of Humanities, the Alumni Office, the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce and the Hamilton Economic Development Office has won an IEDC "Excellence in Economic Development" award.
