Center for Engaged Learning
Preparing students through real-world experience, exploration, and reflection
Learn, apply, reflect
No matter the area of interest, real-world experience and reflection enable students to apply their education to their daily lives – giving them a leg up on others as they leave campus to pursue careers or further their education.
The Center for Engaged Learning (CEL) collaborates with campus, community, and industry partners to expand engaged learning opportunities for undergraduate students inside and beyond the classroom.
What is engaged learning?
Students apply their knowledge to expand and deepen their skillset by participating in intentional experiences inside and beyond the classroom which require reflection, perspective taking, critical thinking, and active exploration.
Sasha Gorchanyuk thrives in competition and on challenges. The senior communications major and student-athlete has taken advantage of many learning opportunities outside of the classroom. As the Center for Engaged Learning officially opens on the UofL campus, Sasha is a great example of working with faculty to earn her way into the working world.
