Collaboration, Community and Creativity: Reciprocal Relationships in WIL in Rural Areas

This is a webinar! 

This interdisciplinary, interactive panel brings together faculty, students, community partners, and experiential learning specialists to explore the co-imagining, co-design, and co-implementation of 8 Mount Allison-based WIL projects. At the heart of these projects are substantial collaborations with community partners that support their work, while providing motivating opportunities for applied learning to undergraduate students who experience how their academic studies are relevant in the “real world”. Dr. Susie Andrews (Religion) has led 6 iHub funded projects with education, food-agri, and GLAM sector partners including the “Representation Matters” where students applied learning about religious storytelling to catalogue one library collection and evaluate the extent to which it reflects the diversity of our community. During the same period, Dr. Rachelle Pascoe-Deslauriers (Business) has developed 2 successive iHub projects into a series of experiential partnership projects with the Mount Allison Students’ Union in Human Resource Management, giving students experience in conducting job evaluations, and developing job classification structures, pay scales and recommendations related to fair employment practice for student employees. Although in disparate academic fields, these projects share common goals of bringing in-course learning to life in way that centre real world relevance, increase voice and fairness of participants and stakeholders, and that make sustained impacts long after the projects have finished.

This panel will also include contributions from community partners and students from Andrews’ and Pascoe-Deslauriers’ projects to speak to the impacts and relevance of these initiatives. Mount Allison’s Director of Experiential Learning, Rebecca Leaman, will highlight how, rather than viewing these projects as isolated examples, these innovative WIL projects are exemplars of approaches used by MtA faculty in a small, rural liberal arts context. As a small predominately undergraduate university with around 2,300 students, MtA is located roughly 60 km from the nearest urban centre. While the rural location can pose barriers for access to forms of WIL, the CEWIL iHub program has given structure and scalability to existing partnerships and created new opportunities for creative, collaborative and community-oriented experiences.

Career Development Professional Centre

Code of Conduct

Help us cultivate a Centre we all enjoy by reviewing and following the Code of Conduct.

Our Purpose

Thank you for being a part of the Career Development Professional Centre. To ensure that all members have the best possible experience, we have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to adhere to. This code of conduct applies equally to every person in the community and is intended to foster an online space that is inclusive, safe, and welcoming to all.

Centre Rules

Be welcoming

We strive to be a place that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. We aim to be a place that promotes excellence and innovation in career and workforce development. Please extend respect to all members; we all come from different backgrounds and levels of knowledge and there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Be respectful

We won’t all agree all the time, but when we disagree don’t let those disagreements turn into personal attacks. A place where people feel uncomfortable or threatened will not be a productive one. When having discussions in the online community, commenting on a library article, or participating in other Centre activities, strive for productive conversations around the content being presented, not the person behind the content. Any comments determined to be “hate speech” towards any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the comment has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Hate Speech could include and is not limited to:

  • Violent threats or language directed against another person
  • Discriminatory jokes, language, or materials
  • Defamatory or abusive language or materials
  • Profane or illegal materials
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

A good rule of thumb is to never say anything that you wouldn’t be comfortable with the world seeing or that you wouldn’t want anyone knowing came from you. We ask that you keep in mind the focus of this place, which is building excellence and innovation in career and workforce development for all individuals.

Be considerate of the purpose of the Centre

The Centre focuses on building excellence and discussing innovation in the career and workforce development field. The goal of the social learning community is to communicate goals, challenges, constructive feedback, and questions in relation to career and workforce development. The Centre should be a place for continued learning and development as well as a place to discuss the future of our field (solicitation without written consent by the Project or Advisory team, is strictly prohibited). Any post or comment that is determined to be soliciting any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the post has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Post your discussions or documents in the most appropriate group or topic

Especially within the social learning community, make reasonable efforts to ensure that posts and materials are allocated to the appropriate group or topic. This will prevent cluttering the feed and make it easier for everyone to find the information that they are seeking. Individuals who do this repeatedly will be contacted by one of the group admins and asked to follow these guidelines.

Privacy and Release of Information

CDPC-CEDC will not release your information to any third-party agencies.

Thank you and welcome to the CDPC
