Capstone Internship

All second-year CIVICUS students participate in a Capstone Internship for academic credit. The internship gives students authentic experiences that will help them develop skills to support their community engagement efforts. Students supplement their internship with BSCV 302, a three-credit course in which students reflect on what they are learning in the professional environment.
