Sheridan\u27s Art Hive Creates Belonging, community and Connection

Sheridan College\u27s Art Hive initiative, led by Art Fundamentals professor Kirsten Abrahamson, provides a welcoming, creative space for students, faculty, staff, and their families. Held weekly at the Trafalgar Road Campus, the Art Hive encourages participants to engage in various arts and crafts activities using donated, recycled, and upcycled materials. Rooted in art therapy, the program aims to reduce stress and anxiety while fostering a sense of belonging and community. Since its revival in 2022, the Art Hive has grown in popularity, promoting wellness, equity, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability. Plans are underway to expand the initiative to the Davis Campus in Brampton

UDL is a framework developed by the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST), which is grounded in multidisciplinary research and cognitive learning theories. It focuses on how the brain processes information and learns in different ways. The primary goal of UDL is to eliminate learning barriers and create more inclusive learning environments (Hayward et al., 2022; Zhang et al., 2022). A review of the literature highlights various faculty perspectives on UDL. However, limited research explores students\u27 perspectives and the impact of UDL on their academic experiences, particularly in Canada.

What are students perception about UDL’s impact on their academics and overall learning experience
