The RISE Learning Institute, a part of the Connected Learning Division, works across Bellevue College and with the surrounding community to provide opportunities for students to learn through experiences, with the goal of helping them identify, articulate, build, and apply strengths. RISE builds cross campus collaborations, innovative programs, and community connections to provide transformative learning experiences for students. By fostering Research, Innovation, Service, and Experiential Learning (RISE), the RISE Institute helps students develop skills that can help them succeed during and after their time at Bellevue College.
