(Aug. 2013) More than 150 students took part in internships this summer through SUNY Oswego’s Experience-Based Education program, among them several local students. The interns, with their class year and major in parentheses, include:
Alissa J. Easterly of Cazenovia: Cazenovia College Fitness Center in Cazenovia (senior, wellness management)
Matthew J. Folta of Hamilton: Heritage Farm Inc. in Bouckville (senior, wellness management)
Nicholas W. Dreimiller of Oneida: Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, Pa. (senior, human development)
The Experience-Based Education program at Oswego places students in internships and career awareness opportunities that allow them to earn college credits while garnering valuable life experience.
Last year, more than a thousand Oswego students took part in experiential learning while working at hundreds of businesses, nonprofit agencies and government offices, not counting the hundreds of student teachers working in area schools.
