Extended Learning Partnerships is a full-service event and program planning unit. The expert staff members of Extended Learning Partnerships can help with all aspects of any event, including pre-conference planning, on-site event management, and post-conference activities.
Extended Learning Partnerships works with faculty, community organizations, and external partners to develop and coordinate learning experiences that reach far beyond traditional boundaries. Their mission is to help our partners extend learning:
Planning and executing nearly 100 conferences and programs each year, Extended Learning Partnerships annually reaches more than 10,000 adults and 5,000 youth participants.
Many students participate in Extended Learning Partnerships programming to network and learn through immersion. Extended Learning Partnerships also partners with academic colleges to plan and implement off-site resident instruction courses, getting students out of the classroom and often providing the opportunity to travel while learning. Students are involved with the planning of a number of annual conferences, allowing them to work hand-in-hand with a professional program manager to learn budgeting, communication skills, planning logistics, project management, and more. Students can also work at youth camps as counselors or intern with Extended Learning Partnerships, allowing them the chance to gain deep knowledge about conference planning and management.
Extended Learning Partnerships impacts learners of all ages by working with faculty on the development and delivery of programs ranging from conferences and workshops to summer youth camps and courses focused on engaged scholarship. Our programs represent and share the diversity and strength of the University.
