Study Abroad, Internships, Community Involvement
If you've looked at the sample first semester schedule under "Academic Life," you know that a typical college student has some, but not a lot, of free time. Most students want to use this time to relax and have fun. What they soon realize is that leisure activities can help develop intellectual and social skills that serve them well in careers and graduate programs. Students often tell us that their spare time activities have provided important experience and sharpened a number of skills, including:
Leadership
Cultural understanding
Administration
Human relations
Public speaking
Writing
Teaching
Research
Management
Public relations
Advertising
Sales promotion
Political communication
Public Service
And the list goes on!

in which you can be involved.
