Experiences are a dedicated uConnect content type — alongside blogs, events, and jobs — built specifically to represent experiential learning opportunities that fall outside the traditional definitions of a job, class, or organization. Examples include study abroad programs, research projects, employer treks, and more. Common examples of uConnect Experiences include: - study abroad programs - volunteer trips - employer treks - employer-sponsored challenges - research projects - scholarships + fellowship programs - **and more!** Experiences are designed to give students a clear view of the opportunity itself, application requirements, and information about the sponsoring organization — whether that's a partner university, employer, or nonprofit. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-Feb-25-2026-06-35-22-9504-PM.png) Below, we've outlined the different fields you can fill out for any given uConnect 'Experience' with definitions and examples. # What do the different experience fields mean? - **Title:** the title of the experience, i.e. 'Semester Abroad in Sydney, AU' - **Description:** a description of the experience, i.e. 'a two week volunteer trip to North Carolina' - **City:** the city that the experience takes place in, this is especially relevant if it's an exchange program or off-campus opportunity -

**Experience Logo:** a logo or icon that represents the experience and / or any non-university affiliate of the experience, i.e. an employer or non-profit sponsor - **Experience Link:** a link to an external website that details more information about the experience itself -
