Held on Thursday, May 26, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Experiential learning continues to grow as a hallmark of a Boston University education, via both new and longstanding programs across our many schools, colleges, and centers. This day-long summit brought together BU leaders, faculty, and staff to share models and lessons learned in creating experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to help them find their passion and develop professional skills. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

This first summit emphasized learning that engages external partners and creates opportunities for civic and societal impact. Together, we dug into the data of what works, workshop ideas for improvement, and forge new intra-institutional partnerships. Discussions and table breakouts helped to summarize barriers, opportunities, and areas in need of future discussion for BU, which were disseminated as a short report post-summit.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/p>\n

This event was hosted by the Boston University Initiative on Cities, Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences<\/a>, College of Arts & Sciences<\/a>, Wheelock College of Education & Human Development<\/a>, School of Public Health<\/a>, School of Law<\/a>, School of Social Work<\/a>, College of Communication<\/a>, and Government & Community Affairs.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
