According to an article from the Nov. 10 issue of USA Today, college students learn best when they participate in "high impact activities," such as community service, internships, or study abroad. Apparently, it's best not only to gain knowledge about a concept but to implement those lessons learned by doing and experiencing.
I'm proud to say that Marietta has hit the nail on the head when it comes to making sure that students have the opportunity to participate in all these activities. Many majors actually require that students have an international experience or an internship, and the college proudly participates in Make a Difference Day and Community Service Day each year.
Feel free to post comments about your thoughts on these experiences.
