If you are public-interest-minded, I highly recommend the Spanish and Portuguese Department’s Community Internship Courses. These courses are a great space to connect academia, community service, and professional development. This encourages self-reflection, which helps define the organizational values important to you, as well as gaps in policy and their impacts on marginalized communities you may find particularly compelling – all of which will provide direction and clarity as you create your career path.”</span></p> </section> </article> </div> <div class="col side"> <div class="content"> <nav class="page-nav"
