Neither a global pandemic nor final exams could stop a group of ambitious Kinesiology undergraduate students from sharing an important message!
On April 22nd, students from KIN 489C Indigenous Studies in Kinesiology gave a Zoom presentation entitled “Nothing About Us Without Us”: Indigenous Engagement, Wellbeing and Campus Recreation. The presentation was the outcome of a class research project from the fall 2019. For this project, students completed an environmental scan of policies and programs related to Indigenous recreation and wellbeing at UBC, and interviewed Indigenous staff and faculty for their perspectives on fostering Indigenous campus engagement.
The presentation was intended as a knowledge mobilization initiative, with thirty-eight students, staff, faculty and leaders from UBC-V and UBC-O Recreation, Wellness, NITEP and the Faculty of Education in attendance.
