Bold directions for learning at UCalgary
Our bold vision for experiential learning
By 2025, experiential learning will be a cornerstone of the UCalgary student experience.
Students participate in a design competition with the Schulich Engineering Students' Society.
Second-year Faculty of Veterinary Medicine students participate in an accident-simulation course involving a girl thrown from her horse.
Our priorities
In the spirit of community
The UCalgary Experiential Learning Plan provides a roadmap for expanding and enhancing experiential learning, including how we promote EL to students and partners.
Making experiential learning a cornerstone of the UCalgary experience requires commitment from the entire campus community and our partners. Our collective expertise and unique strengths are indispensable to advancing experiential learning across campus. It is only through a community approach that we can reach our goals.
