Experiential Learning at the University of Guelph

At the University of Guelph experiential learning continues to be part of our core mandate, both in our curricular and co-curricular offerings.  We believe that students benefit greatly from engaging directly in workplaces and communities where they can apply their learning in real-world contexts, develop key competencies, gain a deeper understanding of complex social issues, and collaborate with others toward community capacity building.
