A Move to Bring Freelancing to College Education

Randall Bass, vice president for strategic education initiatives at Georgetown University, knows students who have gigs of all kinds—but they don’t always see them as gigs. For example, students who are savvy with digital marketing and SEO, coding, or graphic design offer those services to student organizations of which they’re a part. And while some students get the chance to use their skills in internships, Bass sees an untapped potential for more of them to use what they’re learning in class to boost their resumes and make money now as freelancers.
