Description

You've likely done some volunteering or service work in the past. It's required at most high schools. But what does it look like in college? This event is part of our Wednesday Success Series. We're here to help explain why you need to do it - both because it's important to put some good out into the world AND why you're going to need it on your resume!


Ever heard of the Shriver Center? We’ll be joined by Emily Passera from this AMAZING campus office, who will talk about how you can get some experience in the field by volunteering! This is especially important for STEM students of all kinds, from pre-health to future marine biologists. Ever heard of ‘clinical hours’ but not really sure what that means? We've got you - and as a bonus, we'll be joined by Melissa Huselton of pre-health advising to help explain things!
