Artful Conversations is pleased to have had the opportunity to work with a number of Student Research Assistants throughout the last two seasons. The work of the Student Research Assistants has been invaluable to the development and establishment of the Artful Conversations podcast. Including Student Research Assistants in the Artful Conversations podcast has opened up an opportunity for fresh perspectives and an extra set of hands that have helped contribute to the successful completion of the project. Additionally, we understand that some of the most important learning occurs when dealing with the expectations and realities of being present in a professional workplace. As such our Student Research Assistants not only support podcast initiatives, but they are allotted the opportunity to transfer theoretical knowledge to practical skills through hands-on experience.
