Learn, grow, reflect.
Not every business situation can be replicated in the classroom. The Office of Student Engagement fosters a sense of community by connecting students and serving as a resource for support and academic advisement.
Our hands-on, experiential learning opportunities help you gain new perspectives and real-world experience that are about more than just sharpening your skills—they’ll enable you to reflect, internalize, and grow in your abilities and confidence.
