The ARC is committed to equipping and empowering students and faculty to create a community of co-learning whose members are welcomed in and achieve their academic, vocational, ministry, and life goals together.
At Briercrest, the diversity of abilities in higher education is a valuable opportunity to enrich the way we teach and learn, ensuring that every individual has the tools to thrive. The ARC plays a vital role in fostering a supportive learning environment for all students and staff.

Meet the ARC Coordinator
Nathaniel Tooke became the ARC Coordinator at the start of the Fall 2022 semester after a year in BCA’s dorms as a residence director. A successful student in his own academic journey, Nathaniel now works to join academic support and pastoral shepherding to see Briercrest’s learning community grow in diversity and to empower all of its students to thrive in school and life. He also studies and writes on disabilities, especially their intersections with leadership, education, and the Church.
