Be In Community

Building a strong network requires more than just connecting with someone on LinkedIn. It requires collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence. These are learned skills.

At APB, we learned and applied these skills in real time while building strong relationships, the atomic unit of any community.

The Great Next Door

We took advantage of on-campus or nearby trails for day trips or quick overnights. Our campuses' proximity to the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Great Sand Dunes, and the Ten Mile Range made them a perfect jumping off point for our weekend trips.

Workshops And Activities

It’s okay to want it all: academic rigor, professional mentorship, and a connected community invested in changing the world.

Our program of optional trips, workshops, and drop-in activities were specifically designed to adapt to our communities. Our communities co-created workshops or series like:

Design thinking
Communication
Photography
Carpentry
Cooking
Personal finance
Storytelling

Rock climbing
Kayaking
Anti-racism
Goal-setting
Gardening
Professional and graduate school advising
Nutrition

92% of employers agree that soft skills matter as much if not more than hard skills.

What are these soft skills anyway? Empathy, self-regulation, collaboration, and creative problem solving (and more) help leaders navigate this ever-changing, complex world. The more we use these skills in our work and relationships, the more we can build impactful initiatives. APB provided a space where students could earn a traditional degree and prepare for the real world at the same time.
