Alan Ewert, Interim Department Chair of the Department of Environmental Health at the IU School of Public Health Bloomington and President of the Academy of Leisure Sciences has received the 2013 Association for Experiential Education Distinguished Researcher Award.

The work of experiential educators is unique, inspiring and meaningful, and contributes greatly to the well-being and education of individuals, communities and work environments. There are many outstanding, often unsung, experiential practitioners whose high standards, commitment and contributions have inspired others to dream and to act. AEE Awards recognize individuals and organizations for their contributions to the theory of experiential education and their service to AEE. 

The mission of the Association for Experiential Education is to develop and promote experiential education, an approach to education which believes that interaction between a teacher and student infuses direct experience with the learning environment and content, yielding better outcomes.
