URI student Courtney Miner of Providence completes summer 2014 internship

2014 Oct 7

University of Rhode Island student Courtney Miner of Providence, RI, recently completed a summer 2014 internship with Elizabeth Buffum Chace Center.

In an internship, URI students have the opportunity to apply theory to practice in the field, and then return to the classroom ready to apply practice to theory. URI's experiential learning coordinators partner with faculty to design internships with structured learning outcomes that will provide students with a competitive advantage when they graduate.

Developed with faculty across campus, many internships may provide students with unique inter-disciplinary experiences. In addition, the University's online element helps students continue to be engaged with their experiential coordinator and peers throughout the semester or year.
