Reverse Internship
WILLIMANTIC — Joslyn Irza ’15 of Danielson completed a “Reverse Internship” at Eastern Connecticut State University. Irza’s major is General Studies. The Reverse Internship program is sponsored by the Office of Continuing Learning and Enhanced Studies and allows students who are at least 25 years old and have five or more years of work experience to gain college credit for the learning they did in the workplace. Irza and the other students in the program were able to earn up to 9 credits for their learning in the areas of “Problem Solving,” “Teamwork and Collaboration” and “Communication,” by participating in a two-part, in-person workshop.
Students also completed three e-workbooks where they reflected on their work experience and how it may have prepared them to attend college. The program is part of an initiative designed to support nontraditional college-level learning.
The following charges were listed in the Putnam Police Department logs. The people charged are innocent until proven guilty in court. The Town Crier will publish dispositions of cases at the request of the accused. The dispositions must be accompanied by the proper documentation. The Putnam Police Department confidential Tip Line is 963-0000.
