2016 Jan 29

University of Rhode Island student Jacob Marrocco of Warwick, RI, recently completed a fall 2015 internship with The Warwick Beacon. Marrocco is majoring in Journalism and History.

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.
