Experiential Learning
Students in the Sports & Recreation Management program have a number of opportunities to gain real-world experience throughout the course curriculum. These experiences include:
- Organizing events throughout the year – students from all three years of the program contribute in some aspect to the organization of these events creating varied experiences and team building opportunities
- Participating in learning experiences built right into the core courses – in the 2021-2022 school year, students were running college wide sporting events and a city wide scavenger hunt, hosting all-star skills competitions, creating social content for the OHL, building activity plans and counselling real clients, and even making appearances on Sportsnet
- Collaborating with community partners – one example is Tourism Sarnia Lambton – as part of this collaboration, students volunteered for events, produced social media posts, and were exposed to working on event bids
- Organizing virtual speaker series’ - Speakers included David Amber, Hockey Night in Canada & NHL Host on Sportsnet, Darren Dreger from TSN, Tara Slone from Sportsnet and host of Top of her Game and Megan Chayka co-founder of Stathletes
Recess - Focus on Mental Health
Recess is a program that began as a way for the Sports & Recreation Management program to recognize the importance of physical activity and social engagement in the maintenance of good mental health. As such, intentional opportunities for students in the program to come out for recess were created. Students and faculty enjoy this optional, one hour per week to participate in a variety of activities designed to promote laughter, comradery, and to network.
We often hear back from students about how large a role recess played in their success in the Sports & Recreation Management program.
