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. 

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.
