The learning community:
- appears on the co-curricular record based on student participation
- is lead by a CSB faculty member with guest faculty
- meets four times per year
- provides community-building, professional development and enriched academics/projects with an emphasis on research
- draws students from both the major and specialist into one group
- student participation in the learning community is required for each year of enrolment in the focus (each student will typically participate in the learning community for 3 years, allowing for student mentoring and multi-year projects)
Learning community led by Prof Keiko Yoshioka, an expert in signal transduction and stress responses in plants, and Prof. Heather McFarlane, an expert in plant cell biology and plant cell walls.
