UM Faculty Connect Students and Industry Leaders
Online info session scheduled July 30 for UM faculty to explore new opportunities
The COVID-19 pandemic led Study USA staff to develop resilient experiential learning course design strategies. We are committed to offering virtual programs that bring experts and experiences from across the country together to broaden UM students’ knowledge and networks.
Two faculty members piloted Virtual Study USA in Summer 2020 and shared special topics in their academic field with students from many different academic backgrounds.
Students in both programs expressed appreciation for the ability to connect with a number of experts at all levels in a more private setting. The Zoom interface allowed students the facetime to learn from these guest speakers and the comfort-level to ask questions and to reach out after the visits for more information and/or opportunities.
Now it’s your turn to get creative and think wide about connecting students to engaging in experiential education in a virtual environment.
Imagine a class where location has no limits.
Imagine a class where technology takes your students behind the scenes of cutting-edge industries and professions.
Imagine a class that is a launchpad for your majors to access internships and find their first professional positions.
Find out more about how to offer this unique opportunity to your students by watching a recording of our faculty infosession or by emailing studyusa@olemiss.edu.
