EPIC programs encompass the following:

EPIC INTERNSHIPS  

Students gain direct experience working in the field both internally at BSM and externally with local companies and organizations. Students have the opportunity to take a deep dive into fields of interest while also bringing authentic value to the company or organization through their talents and skills, giving back to the organizations partnering with BSM.

These internships are typically multi-day or multi-week experiences.

EPIC JOB SHADOWS & SITE VISITS 

Students explore a company or organization up close, for a period of time on a single day. Students learn first hand from people in a particular industry or business what their career looks like in a real world setting.

These job shadow/site visit experiences may involve several students and employees.  

EPIC EVENTS 

Students attend BSM sponsored or coordinated events designed to provide them with the perspective and context which enables them to explore passions while learning about specific occupations or vocations.

These events are single day events either on campus or off campus.  

EPIC MENTORSHIPS & CLASSROOM ENGAGEMENTS 

Students are matched with mentors from external partner organizations for collaboration on specific classroom projects. These projects provide students with insight and real-world application of ideas. Projects can be done in the classroom or via phone, email, or video conferencing.
