Carmen Aravena Laura Ledford
Millikin’s Mission to Prepare Students for:
• Professional Success
• Democratic citizenship in a global environment
• A personal life of meaning and value
PL Hallmalks: Performance Learning Provides the Student
with Opportunities to:
• Partner with faculty, staff, and fellow students to create student-driven experiences which exist within and beyond the academic discipline.
• Engage with third-party stakeholders in a purposeful and professional manner.
• Participate in reflective processes which advance professional growth by critically examining the continuous cycle of doing/ learning/ becoming.
• Study abroad teaches:
• How professionals and industries function in other countries and cultures
• How different societal structures and cultures compare to their own
• To reflect on their place and purpose in the world beyond the local or national
Through the delivery of practice-based preparation for democratic citizenship in a global environment and a personal life of meaning and value, a study abroad experience is an ideal expression of Performance
Learning.

London Semester
• In addition to seeing the best that London theatre has to offer, our London Program students also study with the professional staff of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
Comprehensive Definition of PL:
“…Engaged in supportive partnerships with faculty and staff, our students practice their disciplines in the classroom and perform their disciplines through engagement with a global community of experts -- scientists, artists, authors, or other committed third-party stakeholders. Millikin students learn to shape their lives, own their careers, and impact their communities. We believe the best way to learn is to do and reflect -- in the classroom and beyond.”
