students’ educational experience. Experiential learning includes research with faculty, internships, and service-learning. While
Birmingham-Southern students have always engaged in these activities, the rise

initiative seeks to increase the participation and
quality of experiential learning at the College, including programs offered through other centers in the Krulak Institute. Rise

•
A rich, intense, and deep experience in a community or professional setting
•
Critical reflection before, during, and after the experience
•
Support of faculty, staff, or community members who facilitate learning and provide ongoing feedback
•
Fulfillment of the rise

learning outcomes, which emphasize connecting the learning experience to academic knowledge,
exploring one’s values and professional aspirations in light of the experience, and analyzing relevant public interests and
concerns in relation to the experience.
