What is Community Engaged Learning?
The Student Experience Office provides undergraduate students with various opportunities to gain real-life experience and knowledge through hands-on opportunities throughout the academic year. Experiential learning, high-impact practices and a greater appreciation for the value of teaching will ensure we meet the expectations of diverse and changing student populations, create positive learning and career outcomes, and respond to societal needs identified as a strategic priority at Carleton.
Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is an experiential learning method that emphasizes action, reflection and real-world engagement. It allows individuals to participate in hands-on experiences while gaining critical thinking, problem-solving and reflection skills by creating mutually beneficial relationships between individuals and communities. To help students relate the work they do in our Community Engaged Learning programs back to the classroom, the Student Experience Office utilizes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to help direct our programming and the work that students do.
