project planningThe student connect event will bring together students and community stakeholders to support the unhoused population in Edmonton. There are 2 main parts of the project, the first is that the student will consult with inner city organizations to understand how students at MacEwan University (across various faculties) can contribute their skills to assist in addressing the housing crisis. The second part of this project involves collaborating with students, professors and stakeholders at MacEwan University who are interested in these supports and services.
The student will be expected to develop a project plan for the delivery of the student connect event. This will involve developing and administering a questionnaire to stakeholders, both internal and external to MacEwan University, identify the vision and goals for the event.
It will be important that the student has a range of skills including administrative, leadership and conceptual skills. Examples of required skills include a high level of organization, time management, attention to detail, ability to envision the event and identify key components of the event, ability to motivate others, collaboration, and flexibility. It will be important that the student can translate theory into practical applications.
