This virtual institute equips campus teams to design initiatives that help students explore diverse perspectives, foster connections, collaborate across differences, and engage ethically with communities. The focus is on practical approaches to engaged dialogue and the importance of collaboration, empathy, and active listening.

The Institute on Experiential Learning and Engaged Dialogue is an intensive program dedicated to equipping institutional teams with strategies to foster experiential learning and engaged dialogue to prepare students for encounters on campus, in the community, and in their future careers. Teams will explore ways to help students develop skills, knowledge, and attitudes that position them for success in their future lives and careers. High-impact experiential learning is central to the Institute curriculum, and teams will explore strategies and practices that can be integrated into all disciplines across curricular and co-curricular experiences and will prepare students for democratic engagement.

This transformative experience provides participants with time, resources, and expert guidance to design initiatives encouraging students to navigate diverse perspectives, build meaningful connections, work constructively across differences, and engage actively, productively, and ethically with communities. Through workshops, case studies, and facilitated conversations, teams will explore methods to create equitable and impactful learning environments that prepare students for full civic participation in local and global contexts.
