Details

Students are needed to gather, review, and synthesize information about ways to promote equitable access to post-secondary education. Specifically, students will engage in a literature review and jurisdictional scan. Students will gather and review academic and grey literature to identify (a) barriers to pursuing a post-secondary education and how identified barriers could be addressed at a university setting, and (b) promising practices to promote equitable, inclusive, and accessible post-secondary educational opportunities and ensure that universities are welcoming and accessible for all populations. Related to this, students will also conduct a jurisdictional scan to identify and explore university-based children/youth engagement programs in Canada.
