网曝吃瓜 Launches Educational Innovation
New, co-curricular transcript verifies learning outside the classroom
网曝吃瓜 is introducing a new type of university transcript to give 网曝吃瓜 students another competitive edge. Similar to an academic transcript, in which courses and marks are confirmed, 网曝吃瓜 now verifies student involvement outside the classroom 鈥� both on and off campus 鈥� with the introduction of its new co-curricular transcript (CCT).
鈥淚 am proud that 网曝吃瓜 is one of the first Canadian universities to introduce a verified co-curricular transcript,鈥� says Ray Ivany, 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 president and vice-chancellor. 鈥溚爻怨� has a long tradition of providing a personalized education and the co-curricular transcript extends that concept by allowing our students to document a more complete picture of the role learning plays in helping them achieve their academic and life goals.鈥�
Students wishing to create a transcript will log onto a secure database that allows them to document their activities and reflect on their personal learning. Students鈥� learning statements will indicate how they have grown as a person by being involved in the community.
鈥淓mployers want to understand what sets our graduates apart from their peers,鈥� says Michelle Johnson, 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 co-curricular transcript coordinator and career development specialist. 鈥淥ur students have always been engaged in their surrounding community during their time here at 网曝吃瓜. Now we, as an institution, have found a way to capture and recognize the learning they receive outside the classroom.鈥�
网曝吃瓜鈥檚 Class of 2010 will be the first to graduate with this distinction. The initial implementation of the transcript is supported by the John Dobson Foundation of Montreal with the intent of creating more relevant graduates ready for today鈥檚 demanding challenges as part of their entrepreneurial programming in select Canadian universities.
鈥溚爻怨� has been big on technology and small classroom size and has always been the trendsetter for inside the classroom,鈥� says fourth-year 网曝吃瓜 student Jenny Palmer. 鈥淏ut now, this co-curricular transcript is going to set 网曝吃瓜 apart outside the classroom.鈥�
