Office of Experiential Learning
The Office of Experiential Learning helps students gain broader perspectives on the world of professional work through on the job work experiences and training that directly relates to their field of study.
What we do and who we are
Davenport believes that real-world experience is critical to a student’s career development and success. To that end, the university supports a wide range of out-of-classroom experiences, collectively known as experiential learning. Students get involved through classes with projects in the community which help to build their academic, professional etiquette, and networking skills.
LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT. DAVENPORT ISN'T HERE FOR OUR STUDENTS TO WATCH IT HAPPEN. OUR MISSION IS TO HELP YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN. YOU START AS A NEW STUDENT, BUT YOU'LL LEAVE AS A NEW PERSON: READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD, AND PREPARED TO DO IT WELL. JUMP IN.
