Experiential Learning Lab
For students looking to explore possible EL opportunities, reflect on past experiences, or hoping to connect with other students, we’re excited to offer our Experiential Learning Labs. Our peer-led, PATH-eligible labs connect students with EL Ambassadors who facilitate informative, reflective, and fun conversations. Participants will learn new ways to engage, meet peer leaders offering guidance and mentorship, and create a rich dialogue contributing to student success and a greater sense of community.
This lab takes students in their first and sophomore years through the many programs UD has to offer. Students will be given the chance to explore the many sides of experiential learning. Students will consider what experiential learning means to them before being guided through possibilities by an EL Ambassador. Our Ambassador will help students decide what opportunities meet their unique needs, provide support in pursuing them, and use tools such as Google Jamboard to help participants create a collaborative space to plan their journey.
This lab is designed for students in their junior and senior years who have already begun their EL journeys. Students will be guided by an EL Ambassador through a roadmap reflection of their nontraditional learning experiences at UD. Internships, research opportunities, and extracurricular activities alike all have deep impacts on students' education. The Roadmaps reflect an individual journey and destination meant to help students visualize the impact that EL has had on their journey. Students will then share these roadmaps with each other to better understand the multitude of ways that EL helps students of all backgrounds.
