Experiential learning is a vital part of the University of Florida student experience. From large-scale opportunities to short-term activities, Gators are learning across many venues. Linking classroom and co-curricular learning creates an ecosystem of support to prepare Gators for work, citizenship, and life.
The Career Connections Center’s Faculty and Staff Career Symposium will bring together the UF community to explore ideas around creating a career and professional development community that benefits all. At this event, you will have the opportunity to hear from informative speakers, attend engaging breakout sessions, and network with other UF professionals around topics such as Artificial Intelligence, enhancing and expanding experiential learning, incorporating career competencies into learning opportunities, the Gator Experience Record, and Future of Work concepts to enhance your teaching and practice. Participants will also hear from university leaders to understand new initiatives to enhance our shared work in career and professional development.
