Six kinesiology students at 萝莉研究所 are getting real-world experience this fall thanks to a new partnership between the Kinesiology Department and Wonderland Pediatric Therapy.
The internship, launched during the Fall 2024 semester, offers students a unique opportunity for hands-on learning in a clinical environment. The six students were selected through a competitive application process that included submitting a resume and participating in an interview with Kinesiology Department Chair Suzanne Witmer and Associate Professor Ruben Aguilar.
As part of the internship, students committed to completing 50 hours of on-site experience at Wonderland Pediatric Therapy. They also worked on a final project assigned by Wonderland staff, allowing them to apply their skills in a practical setting. To support their professional development, students were provided with scrubs and immersed in the day-to-day operations of a pediatric therapy clinic.
鈥淭his partnership has been an incredible opportunity for our students to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application,鈥� said Aguilar. 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to offer experiences that help our students achieve their professional goals.鈥�
The Kinesiology Department aims to create more partnerships like this, providing students with career-focused opportunities to strengthen their skills and prepare for future roles in the field.
