Throughout these key institutional documents are references to integrated (later
changed to experiential, as described above) learning, co-curricular programming, and
the various ways these concepts are a part of the educational experience that the
institution desires its students to have. This is significant in that these areas – the
application of classroom learning in experience-based contexts and in programming
purposefully designed to exist alongside and complement the academic experience – are
often noted as key points of potential collaboration between academic affairs and student
affairs (Baxter Magolda, 2003; Hu & Kuh, 2003; Kuh, 1996; Kuh & Hinkle, 2002; Schuh
& Whitt, 1999).
