The application deadline is Oct. 4 for the Spring 2020-Fall 2020 fellowship cohort.
Learning in Action is The University of Alabama’s Quality Enhancement Plan. Through supporting high-quality experiential learning inside and outside of the classroom, faculty help undergraduates develop strong problem-solving skills and connect coursework to real-world contexts.

Faculty members who are selected will:
- be recognized as campus leaders in experiential learning.
- receive guidance from national leaders in the field of experiential learning through on-campus
events. - be supported by a collaborative peer network via professional communities and the Office
of Institutional Effectiveness. - be eligible for reimbursement up to $1,500 to be used for professional development that
supports the development of professional knowledge and skills related to experiential learning,
problem-solving, course design, assessment or pedagogy relevant to one’s discipline. - be eligible to receive up to $1,000 in reimbursement for resources needed to implement
the ELO.
