CLASS: We will meet weekly as a group to discuss the readings and the ideas therein as they directly relate to your experiences in the internship itself. Key to this is sharing the insights you are garnering with your classmates as an active and developing dialogue across the semester. We will address the internship experience theoretically from a variety of perspectives, ranging from the philosophical to the pragmatic culminating with practical assignments (related to the development of your resume, narrative statements, “elevator pitch” interview skills, etc.) which concretely incorporate a more sophisticated and holistic representation of your learning -- across the spectrum of your study abroad experience -- into your professional demeanor and presentation.
