鈥淭his internship is helping me build valuable connections and gain experience that could give me a leg up when applying to graduate programs in Japan,鈥 Ayden said.
Ayden discovered the opportunity through personal outreach and credits KSU鈥檚 Career Center for helping him prepare. 鈥淭he resume support and career fairs offered on campus were incredibly helpful,鈥 he said.
