If you already have a record - keep reading. If you don鈥檛 have a record 鈥 you should also keep reading.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 co-curricular record (CCR) launched earlier this month and is already getting plenty of attention. Since February 1, more than 250 students have accessed the system and 152 positions have been listed, with another 30 under review to be added shortly.

Watch:

For CCR manager Chris Glover, this is a good sign.

鈥淲e started this campaign asking students if they had a record,鈥 he says. 鈥淣ow we want them to know they can login and start building their CCRs.鈥

While many universities have some form of a CCR鈥擜cadia, Memorial, Saint Mary鈥檚 as examples from Atlantic Canada鈥擠al鈥檚 is unique because it recognizes more than just clubs and societies.

鈥淔or example, a student who collaborates with community partners in a university group project and produces a report for a local company could receive a CCR credit as well as an academic credit,鈥 says Mr. Glover. 鈥淲e want to promote community engagement and encourage students to get active in HRM through 新加坡六合彩开奖直播.鈥

For students unable to participate in university societies, the CCR will also credit various jobs on campus that involve ample training and responsibility, such as residence assistants, security officers, student mentors, or athletics and recreation roles.听 听

Learning beyond the classroom


鈥淲hether you鈥檙e applying to a job or to grad school, more and more places are looking at what students are doing beyond the classroom,鈥 Mr. Glover explains. 鈥淎 CCR, much like a portfolio, won鈥檛 get you the job, but it鈥檚 the icing on the cake. There鈥檚 tremendous value to getting involved in student life and the CCR validates a student鈥檚 unique 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 experience.鈥 听

The funding for the CCR came from a large donation from the David and Leslie Bissett family who, in 2003, generously donated $2 million for the establishment of the David and Leslie Bissett Student Learning Centre located in the Killam Library.

Dylan Anderson, a second-year political science student at King鈥檚, represents the college on the steering committee for the CCR. He says he would recommend students start taking advantage of the opportunity to showcase their work outside the classroom.

鈥淚 spend around 10-20 hours a week doing work for the King鈥檚 Student Union, sitting on committees or other extra-curricular activities and I feel that it is very beneficial to have that officially recognized from the university,鈥 he says.

By the end of April, Mr. Glover hopes to see over 300 positions in the database. And given the amount of growth the site has seen so far, he thinks that will easily be accomplished.
