    We value experiential education as a proven high impact practice that both aligns with the equity/excellence imperative of US higher education and leads to career readiness. We are a leader in creating high quality, developmentally focused experiences for all graduate and undergraduate students and in building a strong partnership with Academic Affairs to embed experiential learning and career readiness into the core learning experience.

    We embrace a vision of success for students that is multidimensional and nuanced. Through data-informed innovations, we enhance engagement with students, support their continuous development, and improve meaningful student outcomes.
