What Is a Trailblazer?

VSU's Trailblazing through Experiential Learning is a comprehensive offering of educational activities that align to VSU's 2030 Strategic Plan and the USG's 2029 Strategic Plan. Experiential learning guides students in the development of theory, skills, techniques, and/or practices in a context that focuses on application outside the traditional classroom.

Experiential Learning
noun
An educational approach in which students acquire knowledge and skills through direct, hands-on experience followed by critical reflection. Often summarized as "learning by doing," it bridges the gap between abstract academic theory and practical, real-world application.
