Learning by doing intentionally links direct experience with analysis and critical reflection. It is designed to support learning, inquiry, and action inside and outside of the classroom. The CCE fosters collaboration and connections across campus and community by developing and implementing inclusive educational practices that allow students to make connections between the intellectual rigors of academic study and the needs and expertise of the community.
