experiences are experiential learning: cooperativeeducation and internships, and engagement with faculty through research and mentoring. GVSUhas a strong history of experiential learning with 45-48% of juniors and seniors typically enrolledin credit bearing experiential learning in any given year. Since introducing the blueprint forsuccess that clearly identifies experiential learning as a significant educational landmark,participation jumped to 52-56% with impressive corresponding jumps in graduation rates.In addition to their involvement in experiential learning programs, for the last four years theauthors have also been the team leaders in an NSF funded S-STEM project. This programprovides mentoring and scholarship support for students with high
