Experiential Learning Virtual Symposium 2020
Welcome to the Experiential Learning Symposium!
We invite you to engage with students from the APEX Fellowship funded internship program and the Applied Methods and Research Experience (AMRE) team consulting program. Start your visit with the short video presentation, then browse the student experiences by clicking on the photos or searching our directory of projects to view a project summary, a short 30-second overview video, and a longer, 8 to 10-minute project summary video. The presentations are available throughout the day and students will be available to respond to comments live during the time slots specified on their pages. They are eagerly awaiting your questions and comments.
Watch Dr. John Ramsay accept the Lifetime Achievement Award.
