UBC’s Centre for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL) is currently seeking to fill two student vacancies on its Advisory Committee.

CCEL drives toward a guiding vision of informed, educated, and resilient citizens activating meaningful change. In support of this effort, the Centre facilitates, catalyzes, designs, and implements projects and programs between university and community partners to provide learning experiences where all parties take part in the teaching and learning process.

The Advisory Committee role is to provide expert and informed advice to CCEL on the Centre’s role within the community; the potential to build on the strengths and assets of the Centre to enable increased impact; and issues of importance affecting the community for which the Centre’s strengths and assets may be leveraged.

Committee membership includes faculty, staff, alumni, students, and leaders from organizations external to the University including but not limited to: non-profit organizational leaders; staff from philanthropic organizations; and representatives from corporate partner organizations.

Interested students are asked to submit a resume and cover letter. In addition to highlighting the experiences that qualify an applicant for committee membership, the cover letter should respond to the expertise or perspective you will bring and how your expertise or perspective will enrich the committee as a whole.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. 

Please direct applications and questions to:
