Gain "Extra Credit" Through Experiential Learning

We often hear the question, "When should I start looking for internships and service learning?"
Our answer: Now!

Tutoring at-risk middle school students, studying abroad in Portugal, interning at Google, and participating in summer research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are all examples of experiential learning.

Through experiential learning, you will have a chance to learn the coveted "on the job" skills and training that many employers have at the top of their lists.  And, in some cases, you can even earn academic credit while learning! 

Below are some ways that you can gain hands on, practical experience:
