Practicum Pods

GDB Advising is proud to present our podcast interview series, Practicum Pods! We recognize that many GDB students share information about practicum mentors and opportunities through in-person interactions within GDB courses and in our office. In Practicum Pods, GDB peer advisors interview current and former GDB students to talk their practicum experiences. We highly encourage all of our students to tune into a new Practicum Pods episode every month to learn about different types of research, mentorship, project specifics, and much more!

If you are interested in sharing about your practicum project on Practicum Pods, please email [email protected]. We would love to share your experience!
