About Us
Supporting your Purpose through Action, Resources, and Connections
SPARC isn't just for students who are about to graduate. It can be very helpful for students to get an early start on discovering the potential connections between their academic interests and work. And if you're hoping to do an internship, talk to us.
We use a wide variety of resources to help students develop the skills and confidence to realize their dreams and make a difference in the world. We also assist alums who are refining their goals and making transitions in their work lives.
