Why Experiential Learning?
Experiential learning activities provide hands-on experiences that showcase the benefits of a liberal arts education. Participants reflect on experiences to determine how they change their point of view, provide new information, or create interest in a new topic or career field. Internships, research projects, cultural exchanges, and community engagement all provide experiential learning opportunities. These experiences also help to improve soft skills necessary for success including:
- professionalism and work ethic
- communication
- critical thinking and problem solving
- teamwork and collaboration
- digital technology
- leadership
- global and intercultural fluency
- career management
