EL2 program coverWALTHAM, Mass. — In March 2010, the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Brandeis University, with support from the Hiatt Career Center, Academic Services, Department of Community Service, and the Office of the Arts, will host the second annual “(EL)2: Experiential Learning, Engaged Learners Symposium” to highlight Brandeis undergraduates’ exemplary work.

Beginning at noon on Tuesday, March 16 and culminating with a 5 p.m. closing celebration on Thursday, March 18, the (EL)2 symposium will highlight undergraduate students’ exploration, discovery, and innovation in experiential learning and will include the work of more than 80 Brandeis students, faculty and staff.
