Internships & Research

  • Arrange your own internship experience through your own connections, or by tapping into the Center for Career Development’s extensive network.  
  •  Educate others in the community while celebrating together at festivals and parties celebrating other languages and cultures. These events are often open to the community, including local high school students.   
  • Complete a Senior Capstone Experience (SCE), a research project on a topic of your choosing. The SCE is a research paper and oral defense.   
  • Research the cultures of countries speaking the language you’re learning. Cultural competency is an incredibly important part of communication and helps you avoid faux pas.   
  • Attend a conference and present components from a paper you’ve written, including your SCE.   
  • Create your own research project. Support, financial or otherwise, is available across campus, including through the Hodson Collaborative Research Program or the Cater Society for Junior Fellows.
