Her involvement in co-operative education, work-integrated learning and community engagement spans more than twenty years, over which time she has led strategic program development and research on student engagement, work-integrated learning and intercultural competency development. Norah will be presenting on the evolving landscape of experiential learning and creating quality EL experiences.\\n\\nVictor Saad, Founder, Experience Institute \\n In 2012, after five years of working with middle school and high school students, Victor became curious about pursuing an MBA. But the options and costs didn't quite fit. So Victor designed his own Masters by embarking upon 12 projects in 12 months. He called it the Leap Year Project and his experiences culminated when he staged his graduation at a local TEDx and published a book of stories about people learning through risk. He later launched Experience Institute, an organization that helps college students and career professionals learn & grow through short-term, real-world experiences. His work has led him into collaborations with Stanford, Berkeley, Google, and Leo Burnett. In 2015, Victor was inducted into Forbes30Under30 for his work in education, and in 2017 joined the team at Stanford’s School of Engineering as a Lecturer in Design, helping students reimagine their learning through experience.\\n\"", "startDate":"2018-10-17", "endDate":"2018-10-17", "startTime":"08:30", "endTime":"09:30", "location":"Federation Hall - ", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
