This program changed my life, my vision of the planet, and gave me the courage to push ideas forward.

Choosing Royal Roads University (RRU) was one of the best decisions I made. I was drawn to RRU because of its reputation as an institution for changemakers, and my experience exceeded all expectations. Through a learning journey of two and a half years, I connected with incredible schoolmates and instructors The blended learning format of the Master of Arts in Climate Action Leadership was a game-changer, allowing me to both study from home and provide opportunity for in-person interactions. One of the most memorable moments of my program was a nature walk with Cowichan Elder Ken Elliott in the enchanting RRU forest. This experience, shared with my cohort, deepened my commitment to environmental stewardship and ignited my passion for taking positive climate actions. 

Personally, and professionally, this program transformed my life. It reshaped my understanding of the planet and its inhabitants, instilling in me the courage to push innovative ideas forward. I gained invaluable self-confidence and numerous opportunities to hone my teamwork skills. 

For anyone considering Royal Roads, my advice is simple: go for it! Don’t wait for the perfect moment; seize the opportunity now. Balancing work and study can be challenging, but the rewards are immense. I am incredibly proud of myself and my cohort, and I am grateful for the profound impact RRU has had on my life.
