Post-Internship: Reflection on Engaged Experiences

1.0 credits · Undergraduate

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) offers students opportunities for experiential and engaged learning through internships with organizations in communities and organizations locally, domestically, and internationally. While personal and professional growth happens during the internship itself, engaged learning theory suggests that intentional, scaffolded opportunities for reflection on those experiences is what enables transformative student learning and invites students to make connections between their individual actions and larger systems of global change. To that end, in this course students complete weekly reflection and skill building activities to intentionally discern what they have learned and continue building on that learning going forward. Students will summarize key course takeaways in a professional poster to be presented during the annual CALS Engaged and Experiential Learning Symposium.
