University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education

For recent Werklund EdD graduate Dr. Mat Campbell, MEd’14, EdD’26, completing his doctoral studies while remaining connected to the community where he lives and works was important.

Werklund EdD student Steven Shepperd, BEd'21, MEd'23, shares how the Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarship (QES) opened doors to international research at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, offered new perspectives regarding climate change and resiliency, and allowed for meaningful collaborations with the community.
