| The
department mentors students in acquiring knowledge and developing
skills beyond the classroom. We
encourage our students to engage in a variety of extracurricular
activities within the department, the college, and the larger
academic/non-academic community. Some of these opportunities are
particularly significant to
students with career
paths in teaching. Others may provide fundamental skills for
professions
outside of academe. |
