Center for Community Engagement
The Center for Community Engagement connects students, faculty, staff, and communities (from local to global) to create and maintain mutually beneficial academic, research, and service partnerships that foster resilient communities and life-long engaged citizens.
Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
The Center for Teaching, Learning, & Assessment (CTLA), within the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, advances teaching excellence across OHIO. The center, newly expanded and relaunched in fall 2022, works with critical partners to provide faculty development, create opportunities for faculty collaboration, grow faculty competencies in assessment, promote the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and Discipline-based Research (DBER), and support policies and procedures related to teaching and learning. By participating in CTLA programs, colleagues across the University share ideas and expertise with one another, implement evidence-based instructional strategies in a variety of learning contexts and assess the effectiveness of teaching practices. At the heart of such efforts is a core value of transforming students' intellectual growth and skill acquisition, as well as promoting their development as individuals and as engaged citizens.
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.
Office of Global Opportunities
The Office of Global Opportunities (OGO) contributes to the global mission of Ohio University by providing services and support for students looking to enhance their education with global experiences. OGO connects students to a wide-array of opportunities including study abroad, study away, working abroad, interning abroad, volunteering activities, and virtual experiences. In addition, OGO collaborates with the greater university community to advance global diversity on campus, to foster transformative intercultural experiences, and to promote the development of global leaders.
