The SEE Experiential Education Academy is an ideal catalyst for institutional transformation towards a culture that highly values experiential learning and seeks to strengthen experiential education across the institution. In fact, the EEA has been delivered as a key piece of several institutions' accreditation plans, such as QEP for colleges and universities in the Southeast.
How to Sign Up (Individuals):
All experiential education professionals are invited to explore the possibilities afforded by the Academy. Information is available here or by contacting SEE directly at 856-423-3427, or by email at [email protected]. How to bring the EEA to your Institution or Region: You may wish to consider becoming an institutional partner to SEE and bring the EEA to your campus or region.

EEA workshops are held regionally throughout the year and at SEE’s annual conferences. Individuals who have content expertise in one or more of the workshop areas and excellent facilitation skills have an opportunity to play an important role in implementing SEE’s mission to advance experiential education and contribute to the professional development of colleagues in the field.

Applicants who are accepted as faculty members will be asked to shadow an experienced faculty member in a workshop before facilitating that workshop independently. They will also be partnered with a lead faculty member to provide guidance and coaching. Finally, they will be provided with a template for the workshop to enhance consistency of content across facilitators.
