The Scholarship for Social Engagement, which was established in spring 2011, allows business majors to gain valuable work experience in a sector that students often overlook, since many nonprofit organizations are unable to pay their interns.

In fact, they’re wise beyond their years.
	Thursday, June 16, 2011 Eat this, not that Greasy pizza. Fat-laden burgers. Potatoes swimming in butter. With fare like this in most campus dining centers, it’s no wonder students pack on the “freshman 15” and keep gaining weight throughout their college career.
