Join doctoral students Sulyn Bodnaresko and Shelly Eli, and an Elder in the White Buffalo Lodge (EDT 314) for our new Summer Land-Based Learning opportunity.

Coming soon in Fall 2024

Continue your journey to connect or reconnect with the land. This program is designed to be completed where students may be and at their own pace throughout the academic year. Complete a series of activity prompts and reflections based on place, land, and more.

Fall 2024 details coming soon

These learning experiences will focus on how land-based understandings, holistic understandings, and Indigenous pedagogical practices connect. All learning days will also explore language and story connections of the land and work to uncover program of study connections in this place.

Experiential Learning Check-In & Reflection Opportunities

All participants in Experiential Learning programs are welcome and encouraged to attend at least two of the check-in & reflection sessions below as part of their program. Reflection is an incredibly important part of experiential learning. It encourages students to consider their experience so far and to adjusted as needed as they go forward through the rest of their program, or into the next step of their career.
