Fall Externship CoHorts:
Each year over Fall Break, students travel for 2.5 days with fellow OWU students to participate in this career exploration program. They shadow alumni during the day, network downtown with alumni at night, and experience life in a city. Boston, Chicago, Columbus, and Washington, DC have served as past Fall Externship destination locations. The Bishop Externship program is offered to students across all majors. Travel, lodging, and program event expenses are provided through an alumni donation.
