SELP & WolfieONE

Student Experiential Learning Program

 

“Experiential Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience.”

– David Kolb, American Educational Theorist

 

 

Overview

Stony Brook has partnered with Deloitte consultants since Spring of 2024, to create a student-focused program called SELP. This program enables SBU students to explore cloud technology implementation, project management, and change management. They gain consulting skills, knowledge of Oracle ERP (managing human resources services, finance, system configuration, and reporting/analytics), develop stakeholder engagement and organizational transformation capabilities. 

We Aim to:

  • Engage students in the WolfieONE ERP program
  • Provide an opportunity to gain hands-on experience
  • Develop talent
  • Equip students with workforce-ready skills
