Our Sponsors

Learn about the organizations that make it all happen.

What is Experiential Learning?

Every project you see showcased on this site tells a story about experiential learning. So, how does it all come together?

It starts with a mission-driven organization anywhere in the world bringing us a challenge. Is, for example, the organization’s website telling the story of its brand? Are new employees being trained effectively? Do its social media channels reach the right audiences?

Guided by an instructor with years of practical experience, a student team then engages in discovery with the sponsor. They analyze the situation, ask questions, test assumptions, and come up with recommendations that can be acted upon. The learning is multi-dimensional: students interacting with instructors, sponsors, and other students.
