Andie Mollins, a 3rd year BA student double majoring in History and Sociology at UNB Fredericton, created a video series about the L'Arche Fredericton, the organization she worked for as a part of her enrollment in ARTS 3000.
UNB Nursing students Madeleine Flower and Mary Papadopoulos accepted a placement on Campobello Island for Fall 2021 and Winter 2022 as part of a UNB initiative to develop new placements in rural NB, helping to build access to better health services in rural and remote locations.
Reflection is an integral part of experiential education. To truly get the benefits from experiential learning, students need to actively reflect on their experience to understand not only what they learned, but how they learned it. This process improves student’s problem-solving skills, as well as their ability to self-regulate their learning and manage their time.
In November 2019, with the help of the Office of Experiential Education, students Peyton Juhnke and Annaka Roscoe launched Campus Closet. Campus Closet is now open once more for UNB students to access business clothes for job interviews, presentations and the workplace.
We help strengthen, support and grow UNB's experiential learning opportunities.
