Northern Kentucky University will host its second annual Experiential Learning Week from April 17 through 21, celebrating students’ work, experiences, and learning opportunities in study abroad programs, internships, research and creativity, and service learning.

Experiential Learning Week kicks off Monday, April 17, with a showcase of study abroad and internships.
On Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Nunn Hall, students will discuss their experiences in the legal setting, providing real legal services to clients. Then in the afternoon, there will be a recognition of the Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project as students will discuss the classes involved in local philanthropic efforts.
Now in its 21st year, the “Celebration of Student Research and Creativity” is set to take place on Wednesday, April 19, inside the H. Gordon and Thelma Martin Ballroom at the James C. and Rachel M. Votruba Student Union. This event allows undergraduate and graduate students to present their research, artistic, or creative projects through posters, oral presentations, or virtual and creative presentations. It also gives the community a chance to recognize and acknowledge the work and accomplishments of these students.
On Thursday, April 20, attendees can experience a panel discussion on trout, looking at how literature and dance collide through “A River Runs Through It” by Norman Maclean and its sequel, “Home Waters,” written by Maclean’s son John Maclean. Finally, on Friday, there will be a video panel led by Career Services on how to connect experiential learning to a resume.
Presentations for the celebration will be held both in-person and virtually. Virtual presentations will be available for viewing on April 19-20. To learn more about the celebration activities, click here.
