Participating in a summer internship is about much more than showing up to work. It's about gaining soft skills that you can carry with you throughout your career. This summer, alongside your hands-on experience, you'll have a chance to develop networking skills, academic and research writing, observation techniques, emotional intelligence and much more. This will come in the form of reading and discussing helpful articles and news clips, blogging about your experiences, and working with a mentor throughout your internship. Take a look at the links below for a sample of some of the content we'll be covering during throughout summer.
