  • Enrichment Guide 2016-17
    Enrichment Guide: A world of possibilities. Contains a variety of exciting educational, enrichment and adventure programs, including: 2017 • Enrichment programs • Pre-university experiences • Helpful websites for planning ahead • And much more... We are happy to bring you the latest edition of the UCC Enrichment Guide. We hope that it may prove an invaluable resource. Much like the variety of extra-curricular opportunities available at UCC throughout the year, engagement beyond the walls of UCC, whether during the year, or over the summer break, provides students with the freedom to further expand on areas of interest, to hone in on experiences that are truly personal, and to continue to find ways to supplement their intellectual and personal growth. Additionally, and practically, these opportunities also afford students a chance to engage in activities that help clarify possible post-secondary and career paths. We recognize the value these experiences add to their lives. Striving to prepare our students for the future, we’ve searched far and wide to find programs that help them develop into open-minded, communicative, knowledgeable, caring, balanced, reflective thinkers, risk-takers, and inquirers. Our aim is to highlight programs that we feel have value and offer unique experiences. We welcome and encourage students to connect with their university counsellor and share feedback on any activity that we have included here, as well as activities we could include in the next edition. We appreciate your comments, so please do not hesitate
