Team Members Share Resources
Periodically, AccessSTEM and AccessComputing student team members participate in activities designed to support their professional development through their e-mentoring community. This March, they were tasked with sharing valuable resources such as internship programs, websites with information about college or careers, and conferences or events. Students with the best entries, as judged by a jury of their peers who considered both the usefulness of the resource and how well the student explained the resource, won small prizes.
Students shared a variety of resources, including:
- Quality of Life Technology Center internships – www.qolt.pitt.edu/under/applications.php
