Spring 2021 Champions
At CityStudio Vancouver, no one exemplifies the work we aim to do more than our Champions. We truly admire these folks for their commitment to change in the City and to mentoring students.
Each semester, we celebrate one City staff and one faculty member who have participated in 5 or more course collaborations. These individuals are not only committed to collaborative city-building and community-engaged learning, but they also provide us with invaluable insights and feedback, allowing us to improve our process and expand our collective impact.
By providing opportunities for students to gain career skills and contributing to a meaningful project, these Champions have been an integral part in helping to make Vancouver more sustainable, liveable, joyful, and inclusive.
