We may have similar questions: what the possibility of stretching out the program length, will being a parent or pregnant affects our ranking with the practicum sites, and who can I talk to if I am becoming a new parent. This is a supportive group for individuals who have similar experiences to share resources on this journey.

This includes, but is not limited to, music, poetry, dance and/or multimedia visual art. It will also be a space to hang out and play music, draw, paint, or engage in other artistic endeavors. If there is group interest, perhaps we can attend an art exhibit, live music, or other artistic event together.

These objectives will be attained through club meetings, outdoor and nature activities, and other educational events and projects. The outdoor activities club is for students of all years and faculty/staff interested in doing activities and excursions in nature. We plan to do a variety of hikes and nature activities, but the main purpose is to have a group that is doing activities or excursions out in nature. We will have a chat that will be used to determine availability for group members and what activities we do. The goal is to meet 1-2 times per month and do an outdoor activity.
