Experiential Learning Research Report

In the fall of 2024, the Society for Experiential Education once again collaborated with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) to conduct research on experiential learning and high impact practices related to students' career preparation and development. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to conduct a deep-dive exploration into how career preparation is embedded into experiential learning and high-impact practices facilitated by faculty, staff, and administrators in higher education.

Faculty Research Report 

In the fall of 2023, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), together with the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and the Society for Experiential Education (SEE), launched an insightful survey focused on faculty involvement in students' career preparation and development. This comprehensive survey sought to gauge how faculty members incorporate career development into their courses, including sharing valuable resources, facilitating connections to experiential learning opportunities, and enhancing students' professional growth overall.

Special attention was given to classroom learning and the integration of campus resources such as career centers and experiential learning units. Reaching out across all member organizations, we received responses from 6,880 faculty members through various channels, including emails, social media, and virtual meetings.
