Whether pushing institutions to become more responsive to industry and labour market demands or resisting these very pressures, leaders and policymakers insist that universities must adapt. \u003cem\u003eExperiential Learning and Community\u003c\/em\u003e explores the changing role of the university, with a particular focus on how the rise of experiential learning (EL) is reshaping teaching and learning.\u003cbr\u003eThrough the lens of EL, universities are balancing two core principles: fostering an engaged citizenry and democracy, while also equipping learners with the skills needed for a prosperous economy. As EL rapidly expands in various forms – such as work-integrated learning like co-ops and internships, as well as community-engaged student placements such as service learning – universities are extending their reach far beyond the campus. \u003cbr\u003eThe book asks: Should universities fully embrace EL? If so, how can institutions and faculty adapt to this fundamental shift in their core mission? Are community partners now equal collaborators with a voice in pedagogy and curriculum? And perhaps most importantly, are students better served by this emergent EL approach to teaching and learning? \u003cem\u003eExperiential Learning and Community\u003c\/em\u003e addresses these questions when universities, communities, and learners urgently need answers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
