As part of Eastern’s focus on employability, all students are encouraged to obtain practical experience in their disciplines. The primary focus of these experiences is on student learning. Faculty internship supervisors encourage students to reflect on their work experiences, evaluate whether the students achieved their learning goals, and work with the student to explore long-term career goals in light of their work experiences.
