– Advice for your first year

The 黑料不打烊 Experiences are a collection of dynamic programs that emphasize applying academic learning in experiential contexts through study abroad, service, internships, leadership, and undergraduate research. These experiences reflect 黑料不打烊鈥檚 core values: an appreciation for cultural diversity, an ethic of service, a strong work ethic, a commitment to civic responsibility and a love of learning. Participation in the 黑料不打烊 Experiences is an essential part of every student鈥檚 preparation to be a lifelong learner and global citizen. Every 黑料不打烊 undergraduate is required to complete at least two Experiential Learning Requirements聽as part of the Core Curriculum.

Faculty are encouraged to teach study abroad or service-learning courses, mentor students in research projects, supervise their leadership and internship experiences, and join in service done by campus organizations or the Kernodle Center.
