3M Mentorship Network and Resources for Faculty and Students
The 3M Mentorship Network mobilizes faculty, students, and staff to support the creation and submission of 3M Applications for both Faculty and Students.
Faculty create and refine their dossiers with the help of a 13-part video series and one-on-one mentorship from peers across the Maple League.
Students are supported by faculty champions on each campus, and by online events throughout the Fall and Winter terms which give them support and accountability in preparing their applications.
This program showcases the extraordinary excellence of the Maple League. We punch far above our weight, with Two Maple League faculty invited to the 3M Fellowship in 2021 and seven Maple League Students invited to the 3M Fellowship in the past two years!
Online Learning and Technology Consultants (OLTC)
The global pandemic encouraged us to re-think traditional modes of design and delivery, and in doing so advanced our thinking about student expertise in productive ways. In June 2020, Bishop’s University hired university students as Online Learning and Technology Consultants (OLTCs) from all academic disciplines to help support faculty members prepare for Fall 2020. The program provided students with work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences and future-facing skill development (digital literacy, design thinking, creative problem solving, emotional and social intelligence), while working directly with faculty to enhance their courses.
After the success of the OLTC pilot program at Bishop’s University, the Maple League expanded the program across the four associated universities (Acadia, Bishop’s, Mount Allison, St. Francis Xavier) during the 2021-22 academic year, with both a curricular and co-curricular learning experience available to students funded through the Business + Higher Education Roundtable (BHER), Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning (CEWIL) Canada, and Canada Summer Jobs.
