Students seek a launch to their careers through meaningful opportunities at school. Whether it be internships, study abroad, or undergraduate research, students need experiences outside of classroom. In this session, Virginia Tech students will host a panel to discuss their successes and failures in building their own bridge to the design profession. For students and professionals, hear first hand experiences and advice from students who have established best practices for applying, completing, and growing from internships, study abroad programs, and undergraduate research.
