Out and About

A program that works
On Tuesday, Nov. 20, Career Development and Experiential Learning (CDEL) celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Memorial Undergraduate Career Experience Program (MUCEP). The program has provided thousands of on-campus positions for students over the past 20 years, and has had profound impact on both the students and many departments at Memorial. From left are CDEL Director Jennifer Browne, student Kevin Connolly, Dr. Carole Peterson and Dr. Rob Shea.
