The first in-person session focused on Culture and Family. To celebrate the diversity within the classroom and create an inclusive atmosphere, Heather hosted a potluck lunch\u00a0where students and faculty were invited to share dishes representing their cultural backgrounds. Participants were also encouraged to wear traditional attire, adding vibrancy and personal expression to the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The session began with a territorial acknowledgement, incorporating elements of Halq\u2019em\u00e9ylem, followed by a multilingual welcome\u00a0inspired by a Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) event that Heather found particularly impactful. One student and one faculty member volunteered to speak in their traditional languages, creating a moving and authentic opening to the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After lunch, students engaged in table talk discussions\u00a0based on case scenarios related to culture, family, and discharge planning. The conversations invited participants to explore sensitive and vital issues such as racism in healthcare, leading to meaningful dialogue and deep reflection. Students were highly engaged throughout, contributing rich insights and personal perspectives to the discussion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The next in-person session, scheduled for the end of November, will feature guest speaker Lisa Moy\u00a0from the Social Work department, who will join Heather\u2019s class on Environmental Influences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Heather\u2019s approach demonstrates how thoughtful, inclusive, and interactive learning experiences can strengthen connection and understanding in the classroom \u2014 creating lasting impact for students and faculty alike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This semester, Heather Campbell, Assistant Professor in our Faculty, took meaningful steps to re-engage students in the NURS 201 Theory\u00a0course.
