Society for Experiential Education (SEE)

Fellows Program 2025-2026

Julie Dierberger, Ph.D. & Bill Heinrich, Ph.D. - Program Co-Facilitators

The SEE Research and Scholarship Committee is excited to welcome the next cohort of SEE Fellows (2025-2026).

The Society for Experiential Education invites applications for the next cohort of SEE Fellows. The purpose of this program is to develop a learning community of scholar-practitioners and advanced doctoral graduate students working in experiential education. Emerging from the SEE Research and Scholarship committee, the Fellow program is intended to provide dedicated research and scholarship time, leadership development, and networking in service of the Society’s larger goal of fostering research and scholarship in experiential education. Fellows will: 

  • Explore ways to strengthen experiential education at their respective institution(s)

  • Expand their scholarship and research related to experiential education in their contexts and interest areas

  • Build a network of colleagues, co-authors, and teammates in the service of research and scholarship pursuits in experiential education

The cohort will explore their practitioner-scholar identity in light of their professional role and experiences. In addition, the cohort together will explore a variety of experiential education topics and initiatives, professional experiences and interests, as well as professional goals. Through this shared exploration, the cohort will devise an action plan regarding a scholarly project they hope to accomplish at the completion of their fellowship.  In addition to working with members of the SEE Research and Scholarship committee, the cohort of SEE Fellows will work closely with SEE Engaged Scholars, Dr. Julie Dierberger, of the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Dr. Bill Heinrich, Mindset, by Symplicity. Dr. Dierberger is a scholar-practitioner in experiential learning and community engagement, and serves as the Chief Engagement Officer of the Paul Sather Distinguished Director of the Service Learning Academy at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Dr. Heinrich is a scholar, practitioner, and consultant focused on student success in higher education with focus on experiential learning, organizational change, and authentic assessment.
