Corbett Exchange Scholars Program
Corbett Virtual Exchange Program
When the Canada-U.S border closed indefinitely in 2020, the Corbett Exchange Program was forced to adjust. We developed an innovative virtual exchange program to give students from the Universities of Washington, British Columbia, and Victoria the opportunity to connect through shared learning and social experiences. Students in the virtual program participated in:
- Expert-led workshops on key cross-border issues
- Cohort-building social hours
- Virtual city tours and events
- Final projects and research on a cross-border topic of their choosing
Upon completion of the program, students received a $2,000 award for their participation.
