Hello, everyone! I’m back for my last semester of college (and student blogging) but I’m not actually back… I’m in Chicago studying through the Chicago Semester ! I’ve moved into my teeny tiny apartment, I’ve landed an internship I’m stoked about (and figured out how to get there), I’ve set off the fire alarm in my apartment (apparently small amounts of smoke from cooking sausages are quite problematic in shoebox-sized apartments), MAJOR OOPS beca

This post was originally published on 1 March 2016. It is often said that a pet becomes part of the family: a companion, a friend. For many for homeless and vulnerably-housed people, animal companions are often the most significant other for their owners – a strong example of the human-animal bond and a source of stability and continuity in often-difficult lives.

By the end of my second year of my undergraduate degree, I found myself in a common position: wanting to do something productive and useful with my summer, but not knowing what I’d like to do after graduation. Finding meaningful work experience can be difficult, and finding paid work experience even more so.

But while I may be new to blogging, I’m actually rather old to Hope College, as I will be a senior this upcoming school year. Before I get into why I’m blogging and what this year holds for me, I’ll tell you a little bit about myself: This is so everyone out there can put a face to a name.

This post was originally published in February 2016. The case for Student-led individually created courses Raphy, my nephew, is 18 months old. Just under a year ago he started learning how to walk. I remember my Dad buying him a new ‘walker’ – a shiny red toy car in the shape of a trolley, designed to give little ones extra balance. Raphy loved it and would play with it for hours on end.

There are lots of reasons to like initiatives that promote student-led learning, and student-staff collaborations including co-production. We know they provide opportunities for our students to develop their potential as autonomous and collaborative learners, to deepen their engagement, and to sharpen their skills. It is clear from the various pilots across the University, most notably Student-Led Independently Created Courses (SLICCs), that these sorts of experiences enable our students to flou
