Change makers, Rewa and Bruce embarked on a transformative co-op experience in Thailand, supporting migrant teachers and refugee children.

Co-operative education at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ was built in from the very beginning. That strong foundation has allowed us to not only build the program we have today with more than 25,000 students and 7,500 employers, but build opportunities beyond co-op for our students. They learn how to navigate the hiring process, applying their skills to real-life problems and learning about themselves along the way, ultimately preparing them for the future of work. Hear Dr. Norah McRae talk about how it all started, where we are today and the path forward.

As long-time members of Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE), Scott (BES ‘84, MA ‘88) and Linda (BA ‘81) Davis both know the importance of work-integrated learning at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ. As a testament to that importance, the Davises have committed $5,000 to the Co-op for Community program through the Co-operative and Experiential Education Fund.

Mary-Ellen Cullen and Steve Menich want to help build stronger communities in À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Region. They have found an outlet for their passion to give back by funding co-op students jobs at non-profit organizations through their contributions to the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµâ€™s Co-op for Community fund.
