On our campus, work is underway to implement an Experiential Education (EE) strategy that emphasizes three priority areas of increasing awareness and pathways to participation in EE opportunities for students, building capacity to expand EE opportunities across teaching and learning, and supporting community engagement in EE initiatives and programs. Additional information on this strategy and the key deliverables is available on the Experiential Education webpage of UBC Okanagan’s Office of the Provost and Vice President Academic.
