Experiential education extends a student’s academic experience beyond both the walls of a classroom and a student’s major requirements and allows a student to put their knowledge into practice, testing and refining ideas through diverse experiences. Career development skills gained through experiential education inform and enhance classroom learning. Additionally, participating in experiential education will make a student a more competitive applicant for graduate school and job opportunities after graduation.

This event will showcase possible experiences that may be available to students in the 2026-2027 academic year including:

• Research assistants.
• Internships.
• Apprenticeships.

• Teaching assistants.

In the meantime, it’s time to clean out your bookshelf. Please donate your gently used books so they can find a new home and support GARC activities. The only books GARC cannot sell are formal textbooks, but they can sell novels, ethnographies or other types of books assigned for class.

Books for donation may be dropped off at the Appalachian Center, 624 Maxwelton Court, or brought to GARC meetings in the Annex.
