Northwestern has launched the Forge, a new center for experiential learning—and it's good news for programs like ours. The Forge gives hands-on, project-based work a dedicated home on campus, with the space and support to grow.

LEAD was built on the belief that students learn most by doing real work for real stakeholders. A center that puts experiential learning at the center of the university makes that belief a lot easier to act on, at a lot bigger scale.

“Give students real problems and real support, and they rise to meet both.”

We're looking forward to what this makes possible for future cohorts—and to sharing more as the collaboration takes shape.
