2023 Virtual Institute on Engaged and Integrative Learning – Jul 18-21

Posted by American Association of Colleges and Universities on March 14, 2023

Join us July 18-21, 2023 for our 2023 Virtual Institute on Engaged and Integrative Learning  to develop and advance institutional-level efforts to expand engaged and integrative learning.

The Institute on Engaged and Integrative Learning (IEIL) provides institutions with time, resources, and support to develop and advance institutional-level efforts for integrative and engaged learning. Teams will explore ways to help students make connections among their experiences on campus and in the community, and to their future lives and careers. Experiential learning can be integrated into all disciplines, across curricular and co-curricular experiences, and should be embedded in the learning experiences for all students. The Institute curriculum and format provide teams with opportunities to reexamine and refresh current practices and learn about new strategies to develop an action plan for integrative and engaged learning.

During the Institute, teams will explore strategies and creative ways to build students’ capacities to integrate disciplinary and practical knowledge and skills across their education, transfer learning to new, complex experiences within and beyond campus, and embed learning into signature work and other culminating activities. Teams will have opportunities to create or reinvent initiatives to support equity, active student learning, and prepare students for full civic lives and careers in local and global contexts. IEIL sessions, led by national experts, will emphasize the value of leveraging general education, the majors, interdisciplinary, integrative and experiential approaches, and cocurricular experiences to achieve campus goals to expand integrative learning and community engagement.

Applications will be reviewed and considered on a first-come, first-served basis until the Institute reaches capacity.
