Experiential Learning:

Mission Statement: 
 Experiential Learning at Aurora University serves the economic well-being of the Fox Valley area and the needs of our regional business community through the professional, experienced-based resources at its disposal.

The business community in the Fox Valley area now has a new  resource at its disposal. It's called The Center for Experiential Learning. It represents a new, affordable, exciting, and practical  initiative on the part of Aurora University to reach out and be of service to business and the broader community of which it is a part. With its professional staff composed largely of faculty members of the School of Business, you can tap into both the theoretical and the professional experience-based skills of a distinguished group of individuals. These business veterans bring years of practical problem-solving experience based upon "hands-on" consulting with a wide range of business clients.

The idea behind the Center is quite simple: Draw upon the interest  and the skills of a talented group of professionals from a wide range of disciplines, to create an "in-house" consulting capability that can  provide effective and economical help to businesses within the greater Fox Valley region.

Our goal is to help you address your current business problems and concerns, and assist you in planning for the future so both your opportunities for profitability and success will grow.

At the Center for Experiential Learning, theory and practice come together in a professional staff whose talents and interests range widely over the business scene. 

These include, but are not limited to, such areas as:

  • Economic forecasting and trend analysis 
  • Market/ industry analysis
  • Financial analysis
  • Sales and marketing
  • Market research
  • Production/ operations management 
  • Facilities location and layout

  • Time management 
  • Motivation and morale-building 
  • Communications 
  • Telemarketing 
  • Strategic planning 
  • International business development

The staff takes pride in its ability to reduce complex problems to manageable size, and come up with creative and cost-effective solutions that are communicated to the client in a clear and understandable format. Not only do we fashion solutions, we follow through by overseeing their implementation. And, by providing regular monitoring, including appropriate adjustments when changing circumstances require them, we can consistently produce the best results for you.

For the small- to medium-sized firm especially, and the family-owned firm in particular, the Center for Experiential Learning can be the key that opens the door to greater business success and profitability.
