WIL Story Inventory
Below is the inventory of student stories generated from IMPACT 2020 WIL Student Story Showcase. 70 students, employers, and/or WIL Practitioners submitted stories about students who had made significant impacts during their 2020 WIL experiences. Upon submission, students consented to allowing their story to be published in ACE-WIL promotional materials. These stories are free for members to use as examples of WIL experiences or for creating promotional materials.
Be sure to ask students and/or employers for consent before publishing any identifying information or keep the stories anonymous.
