Field Based Service & Internships

The capstone is an a opportunity for our students to partake in service learning and gain real-world experience in the growing fields such as advocacy, healthcare, non-profit leadership, with organizations which service or focus on women, LGBTQ+ persons, and transgender, non-binary and/or gender nonconforming individuals.
