Students shadowed professionals across multiple departments. Aya Brent, a health and human performance major, said it "really was an eye-opener."
“Well, just the connection, the partnership is key; we have job opportunities such as internships, residency programs, and so this gives them kind of a key look at where they might be able to start their career.”
