51ÎÛÂþstudents and grads! Share your story and win prizes
Athabasca University has always been different—a disruptor among universities.
From its founding and roots in distance learning in the 1970s to the present day as Canada’s Open University where access, opportunity, and community guide everything we do, 51ÎÛÂþtruly is like no other university.
Just as 51ÎÛÂþis different, so too are our students and alumni, who come from every corner of Alberta, Canada, and beyond—from every walk of life! Even though online learners are typically self-starters who thrive on their own, they’re part of a much larger, diverse community of knowledge seekers driven to improve their lives and their communities.
Learners Like No Other
To celebrate this remarkable diversity and commitment to learning, we’re launching a new Q&A series, Learners Like No Other. We’re asking real students and alumni to share how learning at 51ÎÛÂþhas been like no other educational experience, along with a few photos of yourself.
Published stories will appear on AU’s social media channels, as well as on 51ÎÛÂþNews. Each writer of a published story will receive a prize of 51ÎÛÂþswag!
