Apply for the Experiential Learning Award!
With hundreds of co-curricular opportunities available here at UM, students have countless ways to get involved and learn beyond the lecture halls. One student has shared how their experience volunteering with HealthyU has made an impact:
“As part of my volunteering experience with HealthyU, I meet with students one-on-one to talk about physical, mental, and sexual health questions and needs. This experience has helped me develop important communication skills such as attentive listening, as I help students think through their situation and refer them to helpful resources.”
The Student Experience and Development (SEAD) team wants to hear more stories and reflections like this — how getting involved has helped you grow, your achievements, and how we can support your journey and improve the student experience.
Applications are now open for the Experiential Learning Award, available to all students and recent alumni who have participated in co-curricular activities listed in the Experience Catalogue. The application process involves reflecting on how an activity has contributed to your personal and professional development.
Recipients will get a chance to receive one of three $100 UM Bookstore gift cards and an opportunity to share their get involved stories in the broader campaign to get other students excited about being involved. They will also receive an Experiential Learning Award certificate and a notation on their Experience Record.
Application closes on Friday, May 2 at 4:30 p.m. (CDT)
