Bridgewater College Center for Engaged Learning

Bridgewater College Center for Engaged Learning The Center for Engaged Learning is about becoming engaged in every facet of your life, in and out of the classroom. You discover your passions.

Learning is about becoming engaged in every facet of your life — in the classroom, through a research project, on your sports team or student club, in your community and in the world. We learn best by doing and engaging, and the Bridgewater Experience centers on investing yourself in becoming a well-rounded, enthusiastic, contributing member of society. You take what you learn in class and apply i

t to life outside of class, and vice versa. That’s where the Center for Engaged Learning (CEL) can help. The CEL combines academics with extracurricular programming to enhance your college experience and help you become responsible to and active in communities ranging from the local to the global. It’s the center of gravity that holds together everything you’ll do at BC—in the classroom and beyond. Through the CEL, you’ll devote time and energy in the project of becoming your true self.
