Dear Faculty, Administrators and Staff,

The Office of the Provost and the Center for Faculty Development are pleased to announce the inaugural delivery of Seton Hall’s Experiential Learning Fellows program.

The program will promote and sustain the delivery of impactful experiential learning programs. This two-semester workshop-style program will equip principal faculty members with the knowledge, skill and strategy to produce experiential learning activities that align with the unique needs and goals of their respective school or college. 

Faculty representing all academic disciplines are invited to apply to participate in this workshop-style program. Sessions will focus on key topics and practical exercises driving development of individual experiential learning activities/projects, and also feature presentations from those in established experiential learning programs at the University to promote faculty and student access. 

Through this program, participants will advance as designated leaders in each of their respective units, prepared to propel development and elevate the quality and range of experiential learning activities available to undergraduate students.

Fall semester sessions will be held in person on Wednesdays (9/13, 9/27, 10/11, 10/25, 11/08, 11/29, 12/13) from 12:30 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. on the South Orange campus. Read more about the program and the application process.

Sincerely,

Katia
