- [00:01:29.672]and higher education planning.

- [00:01:47.791]In my role,
- [00:01:48.691]I support the students
- [00:01:49.859]to really think
- [00:01:51.444]deeply about who they are,
- [00:01:52.762]as a newer, as a learner and as a scholar
- [00:01:55.999]so that we can better think,
- [00:01:57.367]what does it mean
- [00:01:58.134]to engage
- [00:01:59.152]in higher education as a professional,

- [00:02:03.056]with each other
- [00:02:03.807]and with different learners and norms.
- [00:02:06.075]I believe as students
- [00:02:07.310]who develop their skills
- [00:02:09.112]for engaging across different
- [00:02:10.980]development skills for reflexivity

- [00:02:17.921]that they will be exposed in our program,

- [00:02:36.956]to learn new things
- [00:02:37.857]and be in that joyful type of community.
