About Experiential Learning Opportunities
Experiential learning is hands on skill development for you to strengthen your workforce experience which can be applied in all areas of employment.
Learn about research positions, courses, and other experiential learning opportunities.
Points of contacts within the departments are faculty or staff members who have agreed to help students find research and internship experiences within programs or departments.
The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP)
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is a part of a national federally funded effort by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grant aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who receive bachelor's degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Underrepresented individuals include American Indian or Alaskan Native, African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Pacific Islander groups using NSF guidelines.
Check out the Ohio Alliance LSAMP website.
For more information, contact Rob Cowles (LSAMP Program Coordinator) at rob.cowles@wright.edu or Dr. Megan Rua (LSAMP Faculty Coordinator) at megan.rua@wright.edu.
Applying Scientific Knowledge (ASK)
The Applying Scientific Knowledge (ASK) program allows you to begin working in a lab early in your college career. ASK will provide you the opportunity to work alongside multiple faculties as you earn course credit and build your resume. ASK is a part of a national federally funded effort by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Considine Scholar
The Considine Scholar program provides funds to pay women students to work in a research lab in a STEM-related field. The program is made possible by a donation from the Considine family. Their goal is to increase the number of women in STEM careers. For more information, contact Lynn Hartzler, CoSM associate dean, lynn.hartzler@wright.edu.
WestRock Scholar
The Westrock Scholar program provides funds to pay students to work in a research lab as well as purchase supplies for the research project. The program is made possible by an endowment established by the Westrock company. Their goal is for students to participate in academic and professional development experiences that help develop their research skills, critical thinking and community engagement. The program supports undergraduate and graduate students working on projects that focus on sustainability. For more information, contact Lynn Hartzler, CoSM associate dean, lynn.hartzler@wright.edu.
