If you’re from the Weakley County area, UTM is an awfully convenient way to get an education without the hassle of moving out.
But what’s the plan after graduation? Are you going to stay and work in the area, or begin your adventure elsewhere?
As a student at UTM, why not take this opportunity and do some traveling? UTM makes traveling as a student easy and academically beneficial, so this is the best chance to do it.
We realize that there are a lot of students here that are not from the area, so UTM itself may be an adventure all its own. But why not take your adventure away from home even further with one of several methods of seeing the world offered at UTM?
Think about it: the world is an enormous place, and the more familiar you are with it, the more valuable you may be to a future employer. Even if travel isn’t a central part of your area of study, a history of travel looks great on paper.
We at The Pacer are not strangers to the idea of student travels. In fact, our office has been full of students that have traveled to countries like France, Spain, England, Japan and Ireland, all while enrolled at UTM and with little money coming out-of-pocket.
The one thing all these students have in common is that they don’t regret going. In a way, the students who traveled through a UTM program came back with a better understanding of themselves and of the world around them.
Admittedly, leaving the country is a bold first move. Luckily, UTM offers plenty of opportunities to travel within the U.S. as well. UTM students have gone as far north as New York and as far west as California, so don’t let all this talk about Europe intimidate you.
And then there are the internships. Just because you’re enrolled at UTM doesn’t mean your internship has to be nearby. If you’re a student in need of an internship before graduation, why not make that part of the adventure too?
One of the best messages UTM teaches students is the importance of exploration. From the first day of class to graduation, students are told to go and experience the world. The Pacer wishes readers a safe journey to wherever their studies take them, and may they have the desire to get out and do it again soon.
There is also the NATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE. It gives students the chance to study at another campus in the USA, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, or Canada. The deadline to apply for next year is February 15th.
