Resources Opportunities

We think it is imperative for our students to have both an experiential and a theoretical foundation of the knowledge, skills, and abilities that relate to the Five Pillars (or values) of our college theme: Social Justice and Community.

Below you will be able to see our comprehensive list of already approved Experiential Opportunities and Academic Opportunities. We welcome students to engage in opportunities outside of this list that relate to the 5 pillars as well. It is okay if one opportunity counts for multiple pillars, as long as you’re able to connect that opportunity to each of the selected pillars.

To meet the minimum requirements of the Good Trouble Academy Certificate, you must complete the following:

Individual Listing of Experiential Opportunities and Academic Courses for GTA, documented as described in the GTA canvas course.
- This is individually directed and is expected to demonstrate a holistic engagement with themes and values represented in each of the Five Pillars. It could be the approximate equivalent of one Experiential Opportunity Links to an external site. and one Academic Opportunity Links to an external site. for each Pillar, but the depth of your engagement is more important than the number of experiences you have had.

If you are a transfer student, the minimum requirements are:

Individual Listing of Experiential Opportunities and Academic Coursework, documented as described in the GTA canvas course.
- This should show a mix of Experiential Opportunities Links to an external site. and Academic Opportunities Links to an external site. (below) that meet each pillar (an approximate total of five opportunities, with at least one per pillar). This is individually directed and is expected to demonstrate a holistic engagement with themes and values represented in each of the Five Pillars.

Please note: these lists provide a suggestion of what specific opportunities may fit under which pillars, but it is ultimately open to your interpretation. Categorize your opportunities based on what you took away from the experience and connect them to the pillar(s) you think best represent(s) them. This means that while a class may be on a specific topic that leans more towards one pillar, perhaps you made a stronger connection to a different pillar; if so, you may choose to place that academic opportunity under both pillars or a single pillar.
