What is the Student Professional Group?

The AEE Heartland Region Student Professional Group was started by several passionate students who wanted to help other students learn how to use Experiential Education in their chosen field and make connections with professionals, all while promoting the significance of Experiential Education as an alternative to conventional teaching methods.

Most students in Recreation, Park, Outdoor Education, and Experiential Education have one goal in mind: How can I set myself up for the most success upon graduation?

Active membership in a professional organization provides a direct avenue for building a professional network that will serve you well at the end of your academic experience.

Meeting and connecting with other people that are as passionate about your field will both fuel your energy and create strong bonds that will help further career.

The Association for Experiential Education provides an incredible resource for students and emerging professionals to:

• Expand their professional circles.

• Seek guidance and mentorship from many of the very same people who write their textbooks.

• Begin forming long lasting and far reaching professional networks.
