Description

The CGE’s goal is that every semester and short-term program will have an internship, community service or research component. The East Africa Field School, for example, incorporates homestays, non-governmental organization (NGO) partnerships and internships. Currently, these high-impact learning practices are available to students in an impressive number of our programs abroad, and program directors are on board with a push toward making that involvement 100%.
