The HRC supports the integration of human rights related experiential learning opportunities into courses. Previous opportunities have focused on advocacy around scholar’s academic freedom, in partnership with the Scholars at Risk Network (SAR). In the future, we aim to expend our opportunities to include various topics in human rights.
The HRC supports various co-curricular engagementships that bring together students, community organizations, and UBC faculty.
