Experiential Learning: Community Engagement
Community engaged learning opportunities allow you to make a meaningful contribution while enhancing your academic experience.
This specific type of Experiential Learning allows you to actively work with a community organization as you apply your academic learning to analyze and meet community needs and goals. These opportunities can help you connect your interests and talents to social change.
