Practical Steps to Find Opportunities and Ways for Students to Engage
Providing the opportunities for undergraduates to learn beyond the classroom is important for student understanding and context of their future employment. It provides them an opportunity to engage in real-world context and exposes students to a range of experiences they may see as they engage in the profession. In order to attain these opportunities for our undergraduates it is important to build connections within the industry/profession, place students in extra curricular opportunities that match their strengths and interests, communicate expectations to students about professionalism while participating in these types of experiences. During this session I will walk through some of the steps I take to get students involved in their profession beyond their course requirements.
