An Albertus education is about pursuing the truth, applying what you learn to make a difference in the world, and sharing the fruits of your search for truth with others.To celebrate students' accomplishments in meeting these goals, the College hosts an annual Experiential Learning Day (ELD). The Day gives students the chance to present what they accomplished in their curricular and co-curricular activities.
Experiential Learning is Learning Through the Experience of " Doing "
The first Experiential Learning Day (ELD) was held in 2011. It grew out of two traditions, the annual internship awards ceremony run by the Office of Experiential Learning, and the annual research poster session, founded by Drs. Hilda Speicher and Patricia Compagnone-Post. Students in the Traditional Day program are released from classes from 9 to 3 so that they may attend the ELD conference. Students present their experiential learning in the form of talks, posters and visual and performing arts.
