A Sarah Lawrence College education extends beyond the classroom - into experiences such as internships, on-campus involvement, community engagement, and alumni life. Embedded within these experiences are rich opportunities for process-based learning; integrating academic knowledge with experience-based observations; applying related skills in dynamic, intersectional contexts; and building community through collaboration and shared experiences.
SLCembeddED aims to help students navigate learning opportunities that emerge through experience, within the support of a collaborative community. Through the integration of academic material, experienced-based observations, peer mentorship, on-campus collaboration and alumni engagement, SLCembeddED seeks to help students develop tools, resources, and an inclusive, collaborative community that extends across disciplines and into life beyond graduation. SLCembeddED topics include navigating communication and workplace cultures; diversity, equity, and inclusion in intersectional contexts; work-life balance.
SLCembeddED offers opportunities for academic credit, student leadership and alumni engagement, as well as, a growing archive of digital resources and campus events. Through a collection of experience-based courses, collaborative engagement, and events, SLCembeddED seeks to:
Offer students flexible opportunities to earn academic credit for experience-based learning (1, 3 and 5 credit options)
Facilitate collaboratively sourced, collective resources (podcasts and digital archives)
Build community through shared experiences
Facilitate mentorship among students and alumni
Support the transition from campus to life after college
Facilitate opportunities for alumni to contribute experience and expertise
Facilitate inclusive, intergenerational engagement with slc alumni throughout students’ undergraduate years and beyond
SLCembeddED works collaboratively with students and faculty groups; Alumni Relations; the Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion; Career Services, Health and Wellness Services; the Esther Raushenbush Library in developing opportunities for students and alumni.
