Abstract
Student engagement is critical in higher education because of the relationship to student satisfaction and achievement. Therefore, faculties could benefit from examining a variety of real examples of how to improve student engagement. This paper illustrates how a Canadian higher education institution collaborated to provide examples of fostering student engagement at the course, faculty, and institutional levels. Through knowledge sharing across disciplines, a Student Engagement Initiatives Map was created. Three initiatives are highlighted that show a particular emphasis on increasing collaboration among students, and recommendations are provided for other institutions.
