Photo gallery: Engaging with pre-K through 12th graders

October 2017

One of the things that our colleges do best is engaging students with whatever they’re studying, but it goes beyond just learning in the classroom. It’s not uncommon for students at our colleges to engage with pre-K through 12th grade students as well, helping them learn and grow. We asked our colleges for photos of their students working with children — on and off campus, in their local communities and globally.
