Welcome the the Office of Integrative Learning

Integrative Learning offers a variety of programs and resources to fully engage students in their lifelong educational journeys and assist them in making connections between school, work, and all other spheres of their everyday lives.  The purpose of the Office of Integrative Learning is to help students transcend boundaries between academic, personal, and work life to become engaged, ethical, and academically proficient learners.

While classroom learning provides students with a solid foundation of critical thinking skills and a liberal arts curriculum, curricular and co-curricular studies and experiential education offer “real life” preparation for future careers.  The Office of Integrative Learning believes that learning occurs when students reflect and make connections between theory and practice.  The critical thinking skills which allow students to excel academically also yield professional success and a strong commitment to their communities.

Collaborative programs available through the Office of Integrative Learning encourage students to examine links between academics, culture, and volunteer or professional work to fully engage their chosen field of study throughout and beyond the higher education experience.

Some of the hallmark programs of the Office of Integrative Learning are:

• Community Reading Project, which brings campus and community together to discuss social ethics and academics as applied to literature.

• The LIB 100 Course Co-Curriculum, which encourage students to critique and shape their own educational paths.

• The US 201 Course Co-Curriculum, which provides an opportunity for intentional student learning and development which complements the content and skills goals of the course.

• The GVSU Peace and Justice Activist Scholarship, which is an annual scholarship contest open to all GVSU undergraduate students.
