"I think this is really important for skill development, this is actually the type of work and learning environment that I prefer...you learn about it in the classroom, then you come out and you do it."
MacCallum Borghardt '24 spent his spring break on a LEAD (Learning through Experiential and Applied Discovery) internship working on an archaeological excavation at the Chiles Homesite within the Douglas Point Special Recreation Management Area. Overseen by Associate Professor Liza Gijanto, the project seeks to develop interpretive materials about the lives of the formerly enslaved that once lived on and worked the land.
The College's LEAD initiative helps ensure every student has an opportunity for real-world learning through an internship, research or an international exeprience - what we call the Honors College Promise.
