Experiential Learning Showcase 2021
Welcome to the 2021 Experiential Learning Showcase!
You are invited to engage with students from the APEX Fellowship funded internship program and the Applied Methods and Research Experience (AMRE) team consulting program. On each page, students have recorded a brief video introducing themselves and their projects, followed by a longer, in-depth presentation about their summer Fellowship or AMRE consulting experience. The presentations are available throughout the day and viewers are encouraged to leave comments and questions, to which the students will be able to respond until 6 p.m. EDT on Friday, Nov. 5.
The APEX Fellowships and AMRE consulting teams worked with organizations from across the country and around the world with 14 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and 10 countries represented.
Our many gratitudes to all of the generous stakeholders and financial supporters who make experiential learning at Wooster possible. Check out individual project pages to learn more about these partners.
Along with celebrating the exciting work from the summer, the Experiential Learning Symposium allows us to introduce ourselves to organizations for future collaborations. If you would like to explore ways to connect with The College of Wooster and our students, please let us know by answering a few short questions on the interest form.
