Experiential Learning
Two Deep Dive trips are required in PLC. Deep Dives are multi-day explorations into complex topics involving speaker panels, travel to relevant locations, group discussions, relevant service, and complementary activities. PLC recommends you complete one Deep Dive in your first year. You can save the second Deep Dive for when it best fits your schedule.
