Information for Experiential Activities
If you would like some ideas on what to do for your experiential activities, check out the experiential activities tab on Blackboard! There is a list of example activities other VILP students have done. An updated list is coming soon so keep your eyes peeled! For ALL experiential activities, you need to keep track of your hours with a timesheet that can be downloaded from Blackboard. Experiential activities will be marked ‘completed’ once the VILP team has approved the form and the experiential evidence has been submitted.
Please also get into the habit of taking photos to use as experiential evidence. It is great to inspire each other with pictures of what you’re doing! (We will not use these for anything other than approving your file unless you allow us to.)
Email the VILP team at [email protected] or the VILP Student Ambassadors at [email protected].
