Innovation is a core value at SLC, and this semester, we pushed the boundaries of traditional classrooms to create an immersive experience for our esthetic students in their ESTH 11- Anatomy and Physiology class.  Drawing inspiration from Grant Bradley, Professor of the Fitness & Health Promotion Program, and with the support of Steve Janssens and his team at the Innovation Hub, we designed an unforgettable class. Our setup included VR stations and collaborative round tables, seamlessly integrating technology into our teaching approach.
