Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: Because we were so isolated in Hawaii, it was doubly important that we have this course, because it enables our students to really get a sense of what to expect as they move on into their professional career. I created this course, and the college thought it was valuable enough to require it of all the graduating students in the college. And I know that we're a role model for the nation. Many other programs are requiring this capstone course. So students are a little bit more adaptive, a little bit more able to respond to the next step in their careers... Nationwide, the acceptance rate for internships is 48%, so if you have a student in your own state, you are more likely to accept them. It's a real competitive piece, to enable them to get accepted into the internships. It bridges that gap between the campus and the community.
