We believe that meaningful learning happens when diverse voices, ideas, and experiences come together.

That’s why we are excited to launch an Academic Advisory committee, with faculty from across the university, to champion the Learning Exchange’s academic work by sharing ideas, offering advice and building connections.

A big thanks to: Alison Taylor, Andi Binet, Chris Lovato, Heather O’ Brien, Henry Yu, José Rodríguez Núñez, Kayla Lar-Son, Kerry Greer, and Tina Wilson for forming the inaugural committee.
