Applied Learning

Applied learning experiences (ALEs) engage students in hands-on, mentored activities that activate their W&M education, sparking reflection and promoting academic, professional and personal growth. ALEs take place beyond traditional learning spaces and are framed around four key criteria: 

  • Clearly defined learning outcomes
  • Systematic and structured supervisor/mentor feedback
  • Opportunities for ongoing reflection
  • Synthesis and/or application of learning

Early Focus Areas

Applied Learning for All will focus initially on four types of undergraduate applied learning experiences. We will pilot approaches to removing access barriers, deepening the impact of the experiences and tracking student experiences that we can then spread to other experiences and student populations over the course of the next five years.
