A key strength of the Hollins educational experience is the carefully constructed bridge between the academic programs provided by professors on the campus and the dynamic, real-world experiences beyond the classroom provided by the Rutherfoord Center for Experiential Learning.<\/h3>\n

\"StudentsMade possible by the generosity of Jean Hall Rutherfoord \u201974, and her husband, Thomas D. Rutherfoord Jr., the center encompasses study abroad at an array of destinations around the world; domestic and international internships and other career preparatory experiences; initiatives that promote innovation and engagement while connecting academic work with practical application; leadership practice; and undergraduate research projects conducted in close partnership with Hollins faculty.<\/p>\n

\"StudentsEnveloping these various programs into the Rutherfoord Center \u201callows for greater collaboration and interaction while at the same time expanding opportunities for students,\u201d noted then-Interim President Nancy Oliver Gray upon announcing the center\u2019s launch. \u201cThese programs all work best in coordination to ensure students acquire the experience necessary to thrive in both professional and educational settings after earning their undergraduate degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"StudentsThe center guarantees every student can pursue each of these programs throughout their four years at Hollins. All the while, they gain mentorship and opportunities to expand their networks; receive expert help in identifying leadership, study abroad, research, and career options; and explore prospects for financial assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom and I are so excited to support the path of Hollins students through the array of real-world choices that the Rutherfoord Center will embrace,\u201d Rutherfoord said. \u201cNotably, Hollins\u2019 strong history in study abroad and leadership programs, alumnae-sponsored internships, and research projects with faculty can be offered and centralized in a way to provide all Hollins students more comprehensive access.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many modern university centers, the Rutherfoord Center is not a physical structure but a comprehensive program, so various aspects of the center\u2019s work will continue to be housed in different locations throughout camp\"Rutherfoordus, and the opportunities for expansion and growth are bountiful. A director for the center is expected to be named in the coming year.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperiential learning transforms personal and social development,\u201d Gray said. \u201cIt enhances resiliency, tenacity, curiosity, and self-reflection. It\u2019s an immersive process by which students gain knowledge and skills by observing, inferring, and most of all, doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
