INVESTING IN IMPACT
Mortenson’s generosity will support our students in enhancing high-impact practices both in and outside of the classroom. Our students engage in internships that allow them to apply the knowledge they learned in the classroom in a real-world setting. Inside of the classroom they participate in capstone projects, collaborative projects, student engagement activities, and writing-intensive courses, to name a few. We look forward to continued collaboration with them.” Sathyanarayanan Rajendran, Dean College of Education and Professional Studies
