Abstract

Abstract: The benefits of experiential learning can be amplified when these endeavors are shared and implemented by others. This article highlights an example of experiential learning. The authors interviewed the Justice for Fraud Victims team at the University of Alaska Anchorage and found that this form of experiential learning has been beneficial for many stakeholders. Awareness of this experiential learning tool may result in more university faculty, police detectives, and fraud examiners joining the ranks of a commendable group of professionals who use their time and talents to help so many grateful people.
