Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is learning by doing, and then reflecting on the experience to make the future better. It’s a cycle of preflection, action, and reflection. Ohio University has defined it this way: Experiential learning is an approach to education that emphasizes engaged student learning through direct experience and reflection to increase knowledge, develop skills, and elucidate values. Experiential learning activities are intentionally designed to develop students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes through experience related to a field. Experiential learning may occur in curricular and co-curricular settings. Contexts for experiential learning may include (but are not limited to) internships, apprenticeships, clinical experience, fellowships, cooperatives, field work, practicums, community engagement (service-learning, community-based research, volunteering), interactive simulations, role-playing, performance, professional internship/student teaching, study abroad/cultural immersion, research (basic, applied, lab, industry, community), live case studies, job training, place-based education, and student organization leadership.

Building upon a proud heritage of quality staff and services, Facilities Management and Safety will become a benchmark organization recognized for superior customer service. In doing so, we will further develop our staff, continuously improve our processes, and team together to overcome all challenges.
George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service
Ohio University’s George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service is more than a think-tank. While other organizations are thinking about the big problems, we’re developing research-based solutions to challenges facing communities, the economy and the environment. The Voinovich School is a leader in addressing these “wicked problems” facing Ohio, and then scaling these solutions across the whole of Appalachia. The Voinovich School’s distinction among public service schools is its ability to build partnerships with nonprofit organizations, government and industry to boost our resources and expand our impact. This enables us to further enhance public value, using an innovative approach to economic growth and opportunity, social impact and sustainability, and leadership and community building.

Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine
At the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, care is at the heart of who we are. With a commitment to collaboration and a focus on osteopathic medicine, we train future primary care physicians and specialists to treat the whole patient, immersing them in osteopathic philosophy and practice from their very first days. Our approach to medicine and patient care emphasizes physician-patient relationships; prioritizes prevention and wellness; and considers a patient’s environment, beliefs, and values in their diagnosis, treatment, and care. Ultimately, we’re transforming how the next generation of health care leaders learn and how they deliver care to diverse patient populations.
