Internships
The value of an internship is in exploring possibilities, developing contacts, and extending and obtaining new skills and insights. Career Services works throughout the first year of IR/PS to direct students toward the best internship for them. IR/PS interns have worked all over the world in a scope of jobs that transcend their IR/PS specialties.
