their own writing.

"I'm learning the process of what it means to listen to someone struggling, to give them resources, to be a listening ear. I've found a lot of fulfillment in doing that."
"The Explore America internship helped me get the hands-on experience with it and figure out the things I like and want to pursue. It widened my experience and my knowledge of possible career opportunities. Working with that online database really helped me get experience, and it's helping me retain information instead of just learning and then letting it go.”
Each center is linked to a broad intellectual community and provides programming,
events, internships, and coursework that complement the College's diverse academic
programs.
