Being able to apply your knowledge from class into real life situations adds value to what you learn.

Addie Clayton, an integrated marketing communication major, shares her experience as she took part in a workshop over the summer:
“I attended ACP’s Mega Workshop with The Sunflower in Minneapolis. In the Business and Advertising track, led by Flytedesk, I gained valuable skills in client outreach, finding better prospects, crafting stronger pitches, planning an advertising campaign and much more! The picture I submitted is my workshop where we were writing value propositions for our student media organizations.”

Melissa Scruggs (image displayed on post), assistant professor of geology, shares her views on geologic knowledge and how skills can be applied to various fields.

She explains, “If there is any interaction with the Earth, then geologic knowledge can be a valuable career asset!”

(Slide 2)
“Fields that use geology skills include emergency management and public policy, environmental law, forensic science, weather forecasting, hazard risk assessment, and engineering geology.‘

While school is out for the summer, the labs are busy.

Jasmine Conway, a biological science major, shares her experience working at the DAISY lab over the summer.

“Some of the DAISY Lab's fruit flies have been exercising for up to 3 hours a day! Under the supervision of biological sciences graduate student Marie Brunet (pictured on the right), several students contributed to this project over the summer. From daily dissections to cafe runs and going out for lunch on Fridays, the DAISY Lab students learned that the key to a successful research project takes place in the lab and also outside of the lab!”

Sometimes, you find joy in places you never expect. Sometimes it’s in the joy of a stranger you've never met before. These are the moments that make you love what you learn.

Veronica, a psychology major, shares a moment where she found joy in an unexpected place.

“Sunshine “red lady”—I don’t know I was just chasing sunsets, as I do, and this sweet lady happened to be up there [at the] same time as I was. She said ‘I came to take pics too, it’s so beautiful up here.’ It made me want to cry because despite her situation, she found a time and place that brought her simple joys. It made me appreciate everyone even more than I already do.”

The campus will be closed on Monday, September 7 for Labor Day.

Haifan Wu, assistant professor of chemistry, shares his thoughts on how a degree in his discipline benefits students.

He notes, “A chemistry degree builds scientists with critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve real life problems in medicine, energy, and materials.”

When a serene moment makes you stop and notice all the life around you, you start to see what you’ve learned in a different light.

Alina Ramos, an environmental biology major, shares her moment with us.

“I took this at a lake and I began fishing not long after this. I thought about all the life around these areas, the insects, the fish, how they're all so important to these spaces.”

Being able to combine summer fun with what you learned in class truly is the gift that keeps giving.

Karina Escalera, a journalism and media major, shares how her summer internship gave her a chance to apply the skills she learned in class.

“This summer, I completed a multimedia internship in Florida, where I applied the skills I gained from a visual and technology course. My proficiency in InDesign, developed through the course, proved invaluable for editing posters and various design tasks during the internship”.
