Exploring connections between sport, history and kinesiology
Born and raised in Nanaimo, Thomas Leaf says attending VIU was a “logical stepping stone” in his educational path.
Putting classroom learning into practice
VIU History student Ethan Hummel put his classroom learning into practice at the Nanaimo Museum. He worked as a heritage interpreter at the museum through the Young Canada Works program this spring and last fall.
Ethan says his first-year history classes gave him a strong base for working in the Nanaimo Museum. He also gained a new perspective on Canadian history because the museum works closely with Snuneymuxw cultural knowledge experts and Elders.
