[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there was a resource that collected all the cool, niche opportunities/experiences from smaller or lesser known schools. Like, not unknown school, but [b]buried on VT’s website is an internship for Econ students to run athletics dept data.[/b] Susquehanna has alumni mentors for their luxury brand majors. Ohio U (not OSU) has Honors Tutorial College which sounds amazing for a kid planning on grad school. I think I saw that GMU has a partnership with Smithsonian for curation? None of these schools are highly selective

Kind of like that The College Tour show on prime, but searchable & without the annoying host.

Another great program at VT is for the data science students (major:Computational Modeling & Data Analytics) to be put on projects with professors across the university to apply different kinds of data analysis tools and techniques. DS did that and said went he went to interview for internships it was really all the hiring managers wanted to talk about.

For DD, who was looking at environmental science programs, one thing that quickly became important to her was some kind of off-campus ES immersion semester. George Mason has one with the Smithsonian and UMW students can do that too. Washington College has Chesapeake Semester, Juniata College has a field station semester, St. Lawrence University has Adirondack Semester.[/quote]
