We hosted five interns through the CSU SPARK Experiential Learning Program this summer and yesterday they presented their internship projects to the lab. Today they shared their experiences broadly with folks from the career center and student support networks across campus, over lunch and an informal poster session.
Over the last couple years the lab has partnered with CSU Career Center by serving as an internship site to help support access for underserved populations of students, improve student retention, and facilitate experiential learning opportunities for non-majors. This was a great group of students and we are proud to have been part of their learning journey. We can’t wait to see where their careers take them!
