Post-Graduate Service Opportunities

One of the best ways to learn more about a particular program is through research. This can be done by utilizing online resources and/or conducting informational interviews with recruiters or participants who are engaged with the program you’re interested in. For each program you are researching, be sure to gather the information that is most important to you (e.g. program mission, length of program, stipend amount, travel expectations, living arrangements, transportation options, etc.).
