UBC's Outdoor Learning Space project was born out of the need to create a space where students could gather and learn outdoors during the pandemic. The project is a collaboration between the Alma Mater Society, Campus and Community Planning, and the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA). We spoke with Carole Jolly, Director of Community Development and Transportation at Campus and Community Planning; Blair Satterfield, Chair of the architecture program at SALA and Founder and Director of the HiLo Lab; and Graham Entwistle, Workshop Technician at SALA.

We had the opportunity to speak with the Mind in Motion team, a CLL-funded project. The team includes Dr. Guy Faulkner, a faculty member in the School of Kinesiology, Dr. Madelaine Gierc, a Post Doctoral Fellow in physical activity and public health, and Dr. Lauren Mcbride, Ed.D., the Associate Director of Clinical Services at Counseling Services.

Matt Dolf is the Director of the Office of Wellbeing Strategy at UBC, providing strategic direction and capacity-building support for UBC Wellbeing. He also currently co-chairs the Canadian & International Health Promoting Campus Networks, facilitating knowledge sharing and collective action worldwide.

Linda Nowlan leads the Sustainability Hub at UBC as Senior Director. She has over twenty-five years of experience in sustainability as a public interest environmental lawyer and NGO leader.
