In our upcoming Mindset in Motion episode, Bill is joined by Jan Basso, Assistant Vice-President: Experiential Learning & Career Development at Wilfrid Laurier University, and Katherine St. Louis, Associate Director, Resources and Operations in Experiential Learning and Career Development, also at Wilfrid Laurier University, who guide Mindset through the evolution of the Laurier Experience platform.
