Mel Caron

Mel Caron is a senior majoring in East Asian Languages and Cultures with a double minor in Computer Science and Political Science. She read about the ATLAS Internship Program in an email from LAS. Mel works for the Life + Career Design Lab as a Digital Content Trainer, which means she adapts content to be used in an online lab and online course setting. Mel formats activities for asynchronous use and writes companion assignments to encourage students to reflect on what they have learned. Right now, she is creating a virtual instance of the LAS 201 course in Canvas and is building the online lab in a platform called Topia, where students can engage with mentors and with each other while completing assignments. Through her internship, Mel has learned how to use the education platform Canvas, the productivity platform Asana, and the virtual meeting platform Topia. After she graduates, Mel looks forward to joining the Army as a linguist. Her hobbies include rock climbing, working on her truck, running ultramarathons, and going on hikes with her Australian Shepherd named Linus.
