The New Currency of Higher Ed: Driving Outcomes Through Engagement and Experiential Learning

Higher Education value equations have fundamentally shifted. Students and families still believe in the power of a degree—but they increasingly measure its worth by career readiness, real-world experience, and return on investment. 

In this on-demand webinar, we explore how leading institutions are responding by rethinking experiential learning as infrastructure, not one-off initiatives. You’ll see how a coordinated, institution-wide experiential learning strategy can activate students, alumni, faculty, and employers, making opportunities visible, accessible, and scalable while reducing administrative burden. 

We ground the conversation in a real-world example from a private institution that made a campus-wide commitment to guarantee meaningful experiential learning for every undergraduate. By aligning engagement, experiential learning, and measurement in one ecosystem, the institution closed access gaps, improved student participation, and created clearer pathways from education to outcomes, all without adding complexity for already stretched teams. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Why engagement and experiential learning have become the primary drivers of perceived institutional value 
• How to move from fragmented, decentralized experiential learning offerings to a scalable infrastructure of opportunity 
• How PeopleGrove's Engagement and Experience Hubs support student success, career readiness, and institutional outcomes
