ORICE offers unique programs aimed at making meaningful connections between the wider community and academia around common interests in complex global issues.
At ORICE, community partners’ priorities are central to the opportunities student’s are invited into. Our mandate is to foster meaningful engagement between students, faculty, and communities around the world. Students will bring their discipline to life through collaborative projects that combine classroom theory with practice, and research directly with our community partners.
ORICE offers several experiential education opportunities and programs for community engagement through academic (for credit) courses and co-curricular (not for credit) programs, and events. Academic courses may include either an experiential education component (for example, through a particular assignment) or a full immersive placement with a community partner abroad. Our co-curricular programs may be based remotely through research engagementships with or without a community partner, and may also include an immersive placement abroad. Our programs, which include an immersive placement component, utilize an International Service Learning pedagogical approach, which has specific learning outcomes and ethics embedded.
