Prior students did their fieldwork in a variety of settings, including law offices, childcare centers, public schools, state government offices, human resources departments, private businesses, child advocacy centers, nursing homes, and elder advocacy centers. Some were members of research teams, others acted as public policy advocates, and still, others participated in not-for-profit fund-raising activities. Many reported that their fieldwork experience helped them develop the skills and knowledge necessary for future employment opportunities and/or postgraduate education.
