SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS SHARE THEIR SKILLS WITH OUR COMMUNITY!

Our SOC 371 Directed Internship Course helps students find internship opportunities.  A growing number of our students are serving Bellingham, Whatcom County, and State of Washington in this way. Our Internship Program has helped students apply their skills to help our community, earn course credit, and find employment after they graduate.

GIVE DAY donations for 2023 will support this effort because all contributions will go into our new SOCIOLOGY SUMMER INTERNSHIP SCHOLARSHIP FUND.  Please help us grow this new scholarship!

Sociology student Nora Hollingsworth, intern at the Bellingham Food Bank, can tell you more about how internships help students:

We greatly appreciate your support to #WWUGiveDay! To learn more about the department, please follow us on Instagram @wwusociology or find us on WWU Sociology Department | Facebook.
