Jacqueline Elson is a junior studying broadcast journalism at Wichita State.
She is a marketing intern in the Office of Strategic Communications.
Wichita State student Suzie Wright, a social work major, had the opportunity to work
with children through an applied learning experience at the Wichita State Child Development
Center.
She says the experience taught her hands-on lessons in working with young children.
"The Child Development Center at Wichita State has prepared me as a social worker by exposing me to a younger age group, children with different backgrounds and interaction techniques that I can use in my practice of social work."
