Either way?
Start preparing for life after graduation. 1. Work on making your rsum stand out from the crowd: Graduate with departmental honors in IS: finish with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (and 3.5 in the major) and submit a 12 page research paper on an international topic (that earned an A or B). Study abroad: contact Megan Trickler at the University Center for International Education (megan.trickler@wright.edu) to learn about trips this summer. There are a variety of programs (short and long), in English (or not). Did you know that it is possible to earn two semesters of foreign language credit over the summer? And, depending of what you have left, almost any course you take abroad will work for your track. Do an internship: there are possibilities for helping with refugee resettlement through Catholic Social Services and promoting international education with the Dayton Council on World Affairs (if you have at least a 3.0 GPA). Better yet, contact Debra Wilburn (debra.wilburn@wright.edu) about the Washington Center internships, in which you spend a semester living in DC and getting your foot in the door (while receiving credit toward graduation) in one of a wide variety of governmental or nongovernmental organizations. Have you noticed the free copies of The New York Times around Millett and the Student Union? Now even those of you without an app can keep up with the world. Studying the news should be part of any self-respecting IS major's daily regimen.
