Experience provides students with answers like nothing else can. Give students real life opportunities to practice and apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities and to help them grow intellectually, personally, and professionally.

Some of the ways you contribute to student Experience on the
Pitt Pathway:

      •  Give students the opportunity to function as peer
          teaching assistants, research assistants, advisors,
          counselors, or service providers.
      •  Make the University, the community, the world an
          extension of your classroom or department.
      •  Reinforce student involvement in volunteer work,
          leadership in organizations or employment in your
          department as an extension of learning and
          preparation for life.
      •  Encourage all forms of writing including reports,
          proposals, articles, case studies and critical essays.
      •  Develop student confidence and proficiency in
          speaking through presentations, discussions, panels,
          and interviews.
      •  Provide internships to reinforce and expand the
          academic experience of students.
      •  Offer experiences that provide students with
          knowledge, skills and abilities that employers or
          graduate schools seek in candidates.
      •  Teach students to articulate what they have learned
          through experience into clear indicators of skills,
          behaviors and accomplishments they have achieved.
      •  Develop student technical proficiency in using
          instruments, equipment, and software applications.
