Be Part of the Conversation: SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL by 1 October 1.

The ASAIHL 2025 Committee is seeking presenters to spark imaginations and help others incorporate experiential-learning methods and models to benefit their students. We encourage faculty, researchers, and administrators from across the ASAIHL network and beyond to join this critical dialogue.

If you are advancing hands-on, real-world learning at your institution, we want to hear from you. SUBMIT A PRESENTATION PROPOSAL (including draft slides) by October 1. In crafting your proposal, consider questions such as:

• How does your institution give students opportunities for real-world, experiential learning?
• What data or evidence do you have that shows the impact of these programs on student success?
• How do you help students prepare for their careers through training, guidance, and mentorship?

We welcome proposals from educators, researchers, and practitioners eager to share research findings, innovative success stories, case studies, classroom practices, partnerships, and fresh ideas related to “Experiential Learning.”

This is your opportunity to inspire peers, spark collaboration, and help shape the future of experiential education across the ASAIHL network and beyond. SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL TODAY!
