Student Voices: Making Connections Between Learning Inside the Classroom with Learning Outside the Classroom

Student presenters: 

  • Leta LaRush (Arts) 
  • Kaleigh Eichel  (ENV) 
  • Elisha Este (MATH)

The student presenters discussed connections they have made between the academic and non-academic environments, how they have made those connections, and what instructors can do in the classroom to help students effectively integrate their learning. What have instructors done in the classroom to build upon experiences outside the classroom? What might instructors do to help students integrate their learning? How might experiential learning be integrated more often and more effectively into teaching and learning?
