Experiential Learning Programs
The Student Experience Office provides undergraduate students with an assortment of 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 as identified as a strategic priority at Carleton.
Alternative Spring Break
An experiential learning program that concludes with a week-long trip during the winter reading week each academic year. ASB participants spend months actively preparing for their trip by conducting research on their destination, attending pre-departure sessions, participating in local community-engaged learning, and fundraising for their trip.
Campus to Community
Campus to Community is a local program that allows students to develop skills, gain experience, learn about important issues and reflect on their experience by participating in a half day of community engaged learning with a local non-profit organization. Students will be supporting organizations with an assigned project or task and will learning more about how their organization is supporting the Ottawa community.
