The Association of Pacific Rim Universities’ (APRU) Undergraduate Leadership Program (ULP) is a 12-day program combining high impact educational practices including research and community-based learning with intensive leadership development and the application of scientific knowledge to societal dilemmas.
For ULP 2019 “Untangling the Knot: Pacific Rim Environment, Health and Inequality Challenges” students from the Pacific Rim will come to the environmentally-focused state of Oregon to apply new thinking to untangle three intertwined social dilemmas:
1. Environmental degradation
2. Public health risks and
3. Social inequality
Students will work in small teams to address a real-world issue in one of these areas (e.g., environment), while working through how the challenge is entangled with the other two areas (health and social inequality).
ULP 2019 takes place at the University of Oregon in Eugene from June 30 – July 12, 2019. We are pleased to offer this opportunity to 4 UBC students along with funding from Go Global (valued at $1000).
Students are encouraged to apply to Go Global by March 4, 2019. Please visit this website for more information.
