“The Flagler faculty constantly searches out ways to enable our students to gain practical experience in the real world. These experiences help them make important decisions about who they are going to become as working professionals and what kind of contribution they will make. And our students are just as engaged as we are in this process. For example, many regularly present at professional conferences. In some respects we see them as apprentices, as junior partners. We set high expectations of our students and they live up to them. They are the heart and soul of Flagler.” Dr. Wayne Riggs Assistant Professor of History
