Mackenzie Maisel on co-op at Iwanciw Functional Funware

UC student used co-op to make connections, discover what a future artist might do

“I'm a fourth year DAAP student and I've had two co-op experiences,” says Mackenzie Maisel, fine arts major. “Co-op was a way to think smartly about my future. I could get my feet wet with my dream jobs and have some experience when graduating.” Co-op is definitely something Mackenzie recommends, and with UC's new National Co-op Ambassador Scholarship, funding is available to help offset the higher cost of living and travel so that more UC students can co-op in multiple cities across the U.S.
