Student Hannah Engel, Episode 15, Be Connected

Experiential learning is gaining traction at colleges across the country. It's described as learning by doing, where theory meets practice in a 'real world' setting.

Today's episode of Be Connected focuses on Hannah Engel, a Corporate Communication major in the Diederich College of Communication who is participating in a student-run business program that offers experiential learning and leadership opportunities.

This summer she is hiring employees for Vida, a direct trade student run coffee shop. Two business locations will be opening in the metropolitan Milwaukee area later this summer. 

Maggie Gillette, a junior majoring in Digital Media, wanted to find out about Hannah's experience with Vida through Marquette's Blue & Gold Ventures program.
