In the time since, I have spent my days raising children, planting gardens, forming community, learning about the local peoples and land, and pursuing an education and livelihood. As a settler on\u00a0l\u0259k\u0313\u02b7\u0259\u014b\u0259n land, I\u2019m so grateful to be here and to able to call Victoria home.<\/p>\n I have been part of the UVic community for more than 20 years. I completed both a BA and MA in geography and greatly valued my time as a co-op student. For the last 13 years I have worked here on campus. I got my start as a Student Recruiter, helping to inform prospective undergraduate and graduate level students of their options at UVic. While in this role I regularly discussed how UVic\u2019s commitment to experiential learning opportunities sets it apart from other institutions. I spoke of how my experiences as a co-op student helped me understand my potential as a professional while still completing my degree, and prepared me well for transitioning into the workforce once I graduated.<\/p>\n I have now been in the role of Co-op Coordinator for more than 2 years. I cherish the opportunity to work with aspiring and inspiring science students as they pursue their dreams and look for ways to leave a positive impact on our community and our world, while also supporting businesses large and small as they look for the right talent to help them reach their organizational goals.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Science Co-op Assistant” image=”https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/sciencecoop\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4910\/2025\/08\/Kandie-Husband-e1764263716808.png” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Kandie Husband<\/p>\n
