Office Of Engaged Learning
The Office of Engaged Learning facilitates and promotes experiential learning opportunities for students outside of traditional classroom settings. We achieve this through internships, study-away programs, projects, prior learning assessments, and service-learning opportunities. We assist students in finding relevant opportunities, provide resources and support for these experiences, coordinate with faculty and external partners, and help students reflect on and integrate their learning into their academic and career goals.
