Recap: 2022 CapU Teaching & Learning Symposium
The CTE’s 2022 Teaching & Learning Symposium, Community-engaged Teaching and Learning, offered opportunities for faculty to connect with colleagues, become inspired by collaborative research projects, learn about the incredible work that many programs are undertaking in and with community, and garner many helpful teaching and learning ideas. 

This year, over 100 faculty participated in the 4 day symposium on our North Shore campus, joining over 30 faculty presentations on a wide variety of teaching and learning topics. The symposium began with a well-attended keynote by Ruth Simon, Lead of the Howe Sound Biosphere Region Initiative Society responsible for the Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Her address entitled, Community Engaged Teaching and Learning, An Aspiration Journey, inspired participants to imagine how CapU faculty, students and community partners can continue to engage in the important work of community engaged teaching and learning. 
At the symposium, the annual Teaching Excellence Awards were held to acknowledge the achievements of this year’s recipients Kent Lewis (English), Alaa Al-Musalli (School of Communications), Christy Goerzen (Arts and Entertainment Management), Kevin Kirkland (Music Therapy) and Roy Jantzen (Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Management).
