Congratulations to Chelsea Klassen on TIPP Fund Award! - Chelsea is a Sessional Instructor in Global Development Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley. She is one of TLC’s TIPP Recipients for 2025-2026, and her topic is “𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞.”

This project introduces a simulation-based learning experience focused on global health emergency response through the lens of regenerative sustainability. Over two class sessions, students will collaborate on a fictional global health scenario, supported by professionals in the field. This scenario-based learning project helps students connect theoretical concepts and practical decision-making and strengthens the ability to understand complex, uncertain, and ethical tensions that define global health practice. Students learn to consider diverse determinants of health, negotiate stakeholder interests, and justify interventions using data and equity-focused reasoning. The exercise also mirrors real professional environments, helping students build confidence and transferable competencies. This project aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

WAY TO GO, CHELSEA!
