Meaningful Work
What is Meaningful Work?
The purpose of Meaningful Work is to develop, promote, and foster opportunities to connect and authenticate work experiences for Schreiner students. In addition, we provide support and resources for faculty and staff to enhance experiential learning opportunities. Meaningful Work helps create experiences that lead Schreiner students to develop the skills, knowledge, habits of mind, and dispositions to be successful in a diverse workforce.
