What is a transformational experience?

It’s one that changes your outlook, that helps stretch your view.

It’s one where you grow. These opportunities are primarily outside the classroom and are designed to prepare you for life after college.


Transformational experiences can change the way one thinks. It can change one's career path. It can change one's perspective on life. Transformational experiences support student's leadership development and communication skills, interpersonal skills and personal well-being and ways of thinking.
