Mission Statement
The Center for Experiential Learning seeks to serve students, faculty, staff and community partners of Loyola University Chicago as a resource for experiential learning opportunities and partnerships. We offer information, resources and support for the development of academic internship opportunities, service-learning courses and undergraduate research experiences. In serving the community, we align our work with the Jesuit, Catholic mission and vision of the University, seeking "to expand knowledge in the service of humanity," and broaden learning through extraordinary experiences and critical reflection on those experiences.
