Sam is a senior economics major from western Michigan. Sam has been a regular in the Learning Center since his first year, benefiting greatly from the academic support provided as he engaged in a pace which demanded much from his courses and himself. Sam is a strong student with a high G.P.A., but there were areas of interest which he did not comprehend until late in his college years: travel to Africa and international development. He entered APEX as a senior seeking advice from the experiential learning staff on how to build his contacts in these areas. Through contacts provided by the experiential learning staff, Sam is now also working with Career Planning on applications for positions with international development organizations, in addition to applications to the Peace Corps and other international service/development opportunities.
