What are Case Studies?
Case Studies were designed as an interactive and collaborative component to connect senior-level students and alumni with important and current UBC and/or community initiatives. Case Studies emerged for the first time at the SLC 2011 and focused on providing perspective to the nine commitments of UBC’s Strategic Plan: Place and Promise. After a strong response from alumni, participants and UBC stakeholders, we are excited to move forward with Case Studies at the SLC 2012.
What topics will be covered by Case Studies 2012?
This year, cases will focus on Breakthrough initiatives at UBC. You will have a chance to interact with one of four unique and emerging initiatives at UBC by providing feedback in the form of a presentation. It is our hope that these Case Studies will also provide you with the opportunity to play an active role in the success and implementation of the selected UBC and/or community initiatives.
How will you contribute to future Breakthroughs at UBC?
What can I expect from Case Studies?
The SLC Case Studies will span Concurrent Session 1 and Concurrent Session 2 of the Conference Itinerary. In the Concurrent Session 1, students and alumni will be divided into groups and presented with a case study to be developed through the remainder of this session. In the Concurrent Session 2, these groups will present their feedback and participate in an interactive dialogue with UBC faculty, staff and administration.
How will the cases be assigned?
You will be presented with one of four cases in Concurrent Session 1. A primary goal of the Case Studies is to engage and identify with new and emerging UBC initiatives. In this sense, you will have the opportunity to explore and propose solutions to an important Breakthrough initiative at UBC.
Are their any requirements to participate in Case Studies?
It is recommended that participants meet the following criteria:
- At least one year of past SLC attendance
- Senior-level Student or Alumni
