About the Authors—Experiential Learning Team
The Experiential Learning team at Western University coordinates activities, such as internships, co-op, community engaged learning and job shadow, that ask students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world environments. These opportunities are complementary to undergraduate and graduate students’ classroom learning and require students to step outside the university and consider how community, industry, and/or field experience might influence their academic learning and personal development.
The content of these modules was developed by Lisa Boyko, Kelly Hollingshead, and Melissa Walters.
