Office of Experiential Education seeking applications for ExEd Champions

The Office of Experiential Education is seeking faculty and staff with expertise in experiential education to be identified as Experiential Education (ExEd) Champions for the 2022-23 academic year.

ExEd Champions have a passion for experiential education and its impacts on students, have diverse backgrounds and interests and have a history of creating and delivering valuable experiential education opportunities for students. This program is designed to recognize existing experiential education expertise at Purdue and to provide those individuals with professional development, resources and opportunities to contribute to the growth of experiential education at Purdue's West Lafayette campus.

Purdue faculty or staff who have experience designing, leading or implementing an experiential education program for students on the West Lafayette campus may serve as an ExEd Champion. Experiential education is defined as a planned pedagogy centering on an authentic experience to strengthen students’ knowledge, skills and abilities, paired with student reflection.

ExEd Champions will consult with faculty and staff, facilitate experiential education professional development events and serve as ambassadors in their departments.

For more information or to apply, visit the Office of Experiential Education website. Applications should be emailed to Kat Stremiecki at kwidman@purdue.edu by March 11.
