Career Exploration and Development
It’s a refrain that has been a part of the College long before any of us set foot on campus: a ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ education gives students the tools to become leaders in all walks of life.
The From Here campaign will raise $37 million to offer students the opportunities and resources to land their first great job, and to build a career that surges and sails and soars.
The jobs of today cross boundaries between disciplines, and demand the thing that ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ has done so well for centuries: teaching students how to think, not what to think. Visual artists find fulfilling work at Apple; English majors study medicine; and ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ biochemists run global nonprofits.
Summer internships—once a rare opportunity—are now a necessity.
An undergraduate professional internship has become an essential qualifying activity to gain access to postgraduate jobs. The largest portion of career funding, $25 million, will enable every aided student to receive a grant for at least one summer internship.
“My internship granted me a holistic view of health care and showed me the importance of empathy, kindness, and open-mindedness—all of which are essential to being a successful physician.”
