In fall 2024, the American Association of Colleges and Universities, the National Association of Colleges and Employers, and the Society for Experiential Education conducted a national survey of nearly 7,500 faculty, staff, and administrators to examine how career preparation is embedded within experiential learning and high-impact practices across higher education. Building on an earlier report focused on faculty perspectives, this study expands the lens to include staff and administrative viewpoints. The findings offer a comprehensive look at the strengths and gaps in current approaches. The report also provides insights and recommendations to help institutions better align experiential learning with students' career development and long-term success.
