After 18 months of consultation and development with the university community, the university鈥檚 Equity Action Plan (EAP) is now ready. The plan was created based on engagement from
the campus community and is the first of its kind at UVic.
This isn't your average soccer game鈥攊t's blind soccer. Drop-in blind soccer is a student-led success story, brought to UVic after two Exercise Science, Physical and Health
Education students were assigned a class project about adapted sports and recreation.
In the basement of the library, in a quiet area behind compact shelving, there鈥檚 a spot where students meet to secretly eat and talk. When Maram Alraygi discovered it, it became
her favourite place to pray, providing a little spiritual break, she says in the midst of a full day of studying. And she liked sharing the hidden space with others. 鈥淚 experienced the most
blessed time there,鈥� says the Master鈥檚 of Education grad.
