Welcome to the 2022 Experiential Learning Showcase!
The College of Wooster has a proud tradition of engaging students in experiential learning, leading to meaningful application of classroom knowledge to practical experience, greater vocational discernment, and preparation for post-college careers.
We are celebrating the award recipients of Excellence in Experiential Learning and two funded, mentored programs: the APEX Fellowships and the Applied Methods and Research Experience (AMRE). We are also celebrating several milestones: 20 years since the inception of the Lilly vocational exploration fellowships, which laid the foundation for APEX Fellowships and Social Justice Internships, begun 10 years ago.
Enjoy scrolling through the projects and watching the videos. Also, please contact the staff in Experiential Learning and Community Engagement with questions about or ideas for these programs.
