鈥淲omen around me consistently pushed me to try new things, so I did. When I was a first-year student, I talked with other students about what experiences they were participating in. I learned from them and the paths they took.鈥 鈥Addison Cross '20

Facilitating meaningful community engagement through course-based work, scholarship, and student employment, students have opportunities to practice critical and creative thinking while gaining real-world experience.

Advancing the University鈥檚 mission and vision through engagement with global cultures, communities, and environments, these experiential programs provide both liberal arts and professional experience with an emphasis on accessibility, inclusion, and cultural sensitivity.
Undergraduate Research and Creative Inquiry
Students from a wide range of disciplines currently collaborate with faculty, engaging in deep learning and developing as scholars. Since 2010, over 300 students have participated in the Summer Scholars student research program, with most presenting at national conferences.
