Peer Mentors
The following faculty members are part of a growing network of educators who have taught experiential courses and who enjoy exchanging ideas with colleagues about how to do this kind of teaching effectively. They would be welcome to discussing any questions you might have.
You might also consider joining a peer-to-peer mentoring group which would meet perhaps twice a semester to learn more about the goals, strategies and philosophy of experiential learning. Please email Audra Grady for more information.
