Nicole Hall who is our career center and internship coordinator has alerted [Peter Keller] to an interesting conference on experiential education that is being held in July at California University of Pennsylvania. There are funds available if you might have an interest in attending. Here is a summary describing the event:

Cal U's Internship Center will be hosting a National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE) workshop on July 22, 2009, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. in the Kara Alumni House. The topic of this NSEE Experiential Education Academy event will be Strengthening Experiential Education Within Your Institution. NSEE has pioneered the area of strategic planning related to the process of institutionalizing the full range of experiential education into educational and community institutions. This workshop addresses seven critical factors that need initial and ongoing attention: mission and values; curricular integration; faculty involvement; quality assurance and assessment; administrative infrastructure; budget integration; and strategies for change. Participants will examine alternative strategies and collaborate with one another in identifying appropriate approaches for their respective institutions/organizations.

About the Speaker: Al Cabral is Associate Professor of Management and Director of Internships for Nazareth College Rochester.

Please let Cathy Martin in the Provost's office know in the next few days if you have any interest in attending.
