Highlights:
- MEGA events are cultural, organizational, operational, problem-solving, and experiential learning opportunities!
- Studying student learning in internships and other high impact practices takes careful consideration of equity, access, learning, and community, collaboration, and IRB approval! Plan ahead.
- Students are ready for the challenge, and are well supported to have faculty mentors who come alongside and model professionalism and support for one another along the way
- Students will surprise us with the depth of their learning. They will build their own relationships and create the next generation of professionals
- Deep leaning comes from the collective campus ecosystem of experiential learning, where students get the benefit of faculty expertise, staff logistical support, and professional mentoring.
