Off Campus Visits
Participants have the opportunity throughout the summer to connect what the learning in the course to real-life experiences by visiting organizations related to the course topic in the Boston-area and meeting with key professionals.
The exposure to community organizations related to the course will give participants the opportunity to see how the issues/themes of the course play out in the working world, to meet and interact with key professionals in the field and learn about their work.
