Capstones
and Internships as High-Impact Practices: Internships and senior capstones can provide
students with opportunities for integrating prior learning experiences through
“real-world” experiences and applied learning projects. However, not all
internships or capstone courses meet the potential for providing students with
meaningful, applied learning opportunities. In this workshop, you will learn
from Josey Cameron, Assistant Director of Employer Relations and Internships in
the Career Center, and Dr. Brooke Conaway, Associate Professor of Economics.
They will share what they have learned about insuring that internships and
capstone courses can be designed as truly transformative, high-impact learning
experiences.
