This workshop will engage participants in the major tenets of experiential learning, intentionally focusing on creating spaces for reflection and awareness of who participants are as leaders. We invite participants to join PKAL STEM Leadership Institute (SLI) leaders and mentors in experiential learning exercises (ELEs) designed to develop leaders of inclusive and systemic change in STEM higher education. PKAL has over thirty years of transforming STEM education. This includes providing effective leadership development for STEM faculty through the STEM Leadership Institute (SLI). Nearly 60 percent of the SLI’s leadership development is grounded in experiential learning. This workshop will expose participants to ways of building collaborative learning communities, co-creating space for reflective practice, and facilitating inclusive spaces for challenging conversations, with the goal to lead differently.
