DIVISIONAL STRATEGIC PRIORITIESExperiential LearningMission and OverviewIn keeping with our belief that “learning happens everywhere,”SA/ERM units seek to proactively engage studentsin opportunities to learn by applying knowledge in real-worldenvironments. Experiential learning may occur on or offcampus in a variety of contexts, but requires critical reflectionof the learning experience.Experiential learning may include: Internships, communityservice, academic service learning, peer education, research,study abroad, committee work, and leadership. Our vision isthat all students at SBU will have completed at least onesubstantive experiential learning activity prior to graduation.Many units within the Division coordinate some form ofexperiential learning activity. Several offer internships, somecoordinate community service and academic service learningprojects, and organize and manage peer education programs,and many provide opportunities for students to serve onuniversity committees and in leadership roles.The Career Center plays a central role in creating and coordinatingmany experiential learning activities. The CareerCenter is the defacto Community Service Office, managingtwo grant-funded programs (AmeriCorps and VISTA), coordinatingthousands of service hours, posting several hundredservice opportunities annually, managing the Virtual Centerfor Community Service Web site, coordinating the campuswideCommunity Service Committee, and working closelywith faculty to develop academic service learning projects.In addition, the Career Center serves as the InternshipOffice, offering a centralized posting service for employerson and off campus to post internships (paid, credit, volunteer),coordinating Job and Internship Fairs several timeseach year, routinely consulting with employers andfaculty who wish to create opportunities, and managingEXT 288 and EXT 488, credit-bearing designators to supportstudents in all majors engaged in internships outside theirmajor department.Strategic Priorities 2009-2010Goals > Progress Toward GoalsCreate opportunities for student engagement in experientiallearning.• Eleven departments within the division of Student Affairsand Enrollment and Retention Management offer internshipsat the graduate and undergraduate levels, involvingmore than 100 students annually.• Six departments offer formal peer education programs,involving more than 100 students annually.• More than 250 students serve as Resident Assistants.• More than 40 students serve on the University studentconduct board, participating in extensive training to hearcases of misconduct and make sanction recommendations.• The Career Center worked closely with several departmentsat the Stony Brook University Medical Center to create newinternships, both clinical and nonclinical, for students.
