ORICE offers unique programs aimed to bridge the gap between 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 opportunities and programs for community-engagement: academic courses, co-curricular programs, and events. One of our signature programs is International Service Learning (ISL) – a form of course-based experiential learning that provides an immersive placement for students with a community partner.
