Workshops and Trainings

Viterbi Impact Program participants attend workshops to focus on personal and professional development in the aim to achieve positive community engagement outcomes.

Reflective Writing Exercises

Viterbi Impact Volunteers will engage in reflective writing to process their service experiences and make connections between engineering and societal issues. Reflection is a cornerstone of the service experience and volunteers are highly encouraged to embrace the idea that "We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on our experience (Dewey, 1966)."  To learn more about the value of reflective writing, please view this reflection toolkit. 

Mid-Semester Check-In

The VIP Coordinator will host open office hours and/or schedule appointments for students to discuss their experience, progress, and potential challenges at their service site.
