The LSA Undergraduate Experience
LSA undergraduates are able to extend their college education well beyond the traditional classroom as they go on to become doctors, artists, journalists, researchers, businesspeople, designers, archaeologists, historians, consultants, and so on. While here, many take advantage of the numerous opportunities to learn by experience — in research environments, internships, community service work, study abroad, and so forth. Ensuring that LSA is not only able to continue this contemporary approach of fully engaging students but is able to expand upon it is crucial to our ongoing legacy. Alumni, parents, volunteers, and other friends of the College are able to help make this happen through their time, financial support, and dedication.

Professional experiences can give scope and context to one's education and one's future plans. Many departments provide for internships, and LSA has launched the The LSA Practicum. Support these efforts through funding students or volunteering.
