Student Opportunities
To enhance students' experiences as emerging professionals, we offer a wide range of co-curricular learning opportunities.
Are you a Community-Based student?
While Community-Based students are always welcome to join on-campus or Calgary-based opportunities when possible, we recognize that that is not always an option. The Experiential Learning team is continually working to increase the number of opportunities available to Community-Based students.
Opportunities change frequently, so please continue to check back for updates!
