Integrating Learning Within and Beyond the Classroom
USC Connect is a long term initiative at USC Columbia and the Regional Campuses (Lancaster, Salkehatchie, Sumter, Union) to support all students in making the most of their education by integrating course work with first-hand learning experiences outside of class.
What's the difference between just having experiences and truly learning from them?
