The course is a summer study abroad offering by the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies that takes undergraduate students to Seoul, South Korea, for three weeks. Having a former student in the course speak to current students before they depart for Asia was extraordinarily helpful given the unique nature of the course. Jamie was able to provide his perspective on the experience and answer student questions.&nbsp;The PAL program allowed students to fully engage with the course material and to appreciate the unparalleled learning opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2014 Thomas R Klassen, Professor, School of Public Policy and Administration<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-slide kb-advanced-slide-item kb-slide-25927_09ecea-42\"><div class=\"kb-advanced-slide\"><div class=\"kb-advanced-slide-inner-wrap kb-slide-align-left kb-slide-valign-middle\"><div class=\"kb-advanced-slide-inner\">\n<i class=\"fas fa-quote-left h1 text-primary\"><\/i>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to express my gratitude to ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ's alumni engagement team for their fantastic support in helping me find guest speakers for my Staffing course in the Master's of Human Resource Management program. They understood my needs, recommended alumni who fit my criteria, and even reached out on my behalf. Alyson, Evan and Yas were incredibly helpful. They not only connected me with alumni but also took care of details like providing a parking pass and York-branded goodies for the guest speakers. Their communication was excellent throughout the process. The collaboration had a positive impact on my students, who enjoyed meeting York alumni, learning from their experiences, and building valuable connections. Overall, working with ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ's alumni engagement team was an amazing experience.
