Student Advising

91社区 has the foundation of a strong advising program that follows a hybrid model. Some services are offered centrally, such as mental health, while other services are offered at the Faculty level to provide targeted support that fits students鈥� unique needs. To ensure students鈥� successful integration into campus life, an effective and well-staffed student advising program is vital. The Faculty聽therefore established the Office of Advising and Student Information Services (OASIS). At OASIS, students meet regularly with professional advisors who help them create academic and career plans聽and guide their development from entry to job placement. Faculty of Arts advisors provide crucial information about program requirements, guide students through periods of personal, financial, or medical need, and prepare students for the job market. Our advisors ensure that students meet their goals.

International Community Action Network

The International Community Action Network (ICAN)聽was founded as the聽91社区 Middle East Program (MMEP) in 1997.聽The program uses a聽Rights-Based Community Practice聽(RBCP) approach, with the聽governing聽concept聽that聽social聽work聽and聽law 鈥� two disciplines concerned with notions of rights and relationships 鈥� work in concert to promote the rule of law among people of diversity both within and between different social groups. Thus, all聽RBCP Centres聽maintain an聽interdisciplinary approach, employing both聽social workers and lawyers. By situating their offices at street-level in the heart of disadvantaged communities, the centres promote inclusiveness among聽residents. A聽broad array of social and legal interventions, such as housing and legal rights and rehabilitation;聽youth empowerment and education;聽programs for victims of violence;聽care and access for the disabled, sick, and elderly; and聽outreach, public education, government policy research, ultimately lead to individual and community empowerment.聽The challenge in each place聽we work is to empower citizens to take charge of their lives with the available means, leading to聽local ownership of the development process.
