A cornerstone of our curriculum for more than 50 years, the Clinic Program pioneered collaboration between education and industry to help fulfill this mission.

Making an Impact

Social Justice Clinic

In 2018, the College launched the Social Justice Clinic to provide students the opportunity to work with organizations committed to environmental, social and educational justice.

Solving Real-World Problems

Clinic engages juniors and seniors in solving real-world, technical problems for companies and organizations. Teams of 4-5 students complete computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, or multidisciplinary projects as a capstone experience to their academic achievements. Clinic is key to helping students see the impact of their work on society, as it moves their skills into applied situations with deliverables of value to sponsors.
