Experiential Learning Program (ELP):
Experiential Learning Programs (ELP) offer staff the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills from direct experiences outside a traditional work place setting. ELP encompasses a variety of programs including a student success and engagement speaker series, a campus and community partnership series, an assessment series, a learning at lunch series, and a symposium.
Using Jillian Kinzie’s (Associate Director, Center for Postsecondary Research & NSSE Institutte) Accountability Agenda for 2014, ELP offers opportunities for staff to engage intellectually, creatively, emotionally, or socially and to reflect, analyze and make meaning on topics such as: student success and engagement; robust partnerships; justification of program effectiveness; data informed action; and student learning outcomes. A focus area of wellness – not included in Kinzie’s agenda - has been added to ELP.
