My time here at Laurentian has offered consistent opportunities for professional growth and connections. The Outdoor Adventure Leadership Program is exceptional due to the opportunities in self-directed practicums, group work, and internships. The course work promotes students to develop their skills and abilities, while making connections in the industry. The small student-faculty ratios allow the students to expand their learning beyond the hours of the lectures, as the faculty are always welcoming to students who are seeking to deepen their learning. During my third year in the program, I was part of a group that spent one and a half years planning a four-week service learning and mountaineering expedition to Mongolia, that took place in June 2017. I would most definitely recommend Laurentian University, the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, and the Outdoor Adventure Leadership Program. Laurentian University is unique for the access that students have to explore the trails, lakes and green spaces, and be part of a healthy, active community.
