Each summer Mount Holyoke students pursue learning opportunities--as interns and as researchers--where they apply their theoretical knowledge and skills to practical questions. While some students work very closely with a faculty advisor on a focused research project, others pursue internships with organizations whose mission relates to their major or minor, and still others explore summer opportunities that introduce them to a new area of interest. At the LEAP Symposium students reflect critically on how these learning experiences outside the classroom connect to their coursework at MHC, and how they have shaped their academic, professional, and personal goals.

The LEAP Symposium challenges students to embed their summer experience in their educational pathway by exploring the intersection of the liberal arts, experiential learning, and the critical questions and challenges of our complex world.
