Co-Curricular Hub: Inter-disciplinary Collaboration
At the heart of this initiative is the Co-Curricular Hub, a dedicated and multi-disciplinary team that promotes academic quality, integrity, reciprocity, and care. Team members collaborate to offer dynamic learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom and align with the UFS Graduate Attributes. This isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about becoming the best version of yourself.
