A recent Chapman News article highlights how partnerships between Chapman University and OCTA are helping students turn internships into meaningful, long-term careers in public service.
The story profiles Chapman alumni Megan Abba, Clara Brotcke, Megan Bornman, and Lauren Sato who began as OCTA interns and went on to build careers across communications, government relations, procurement, and environmental planning.
