Between June and August, students are pursuing internships, research, and service projects around the world and across America. They will investigate, teach, report the news, participate in political campaigns, plan events, save lives, and more.

Our summer internship blog series began last week with a post from Natalie Sportelli ’15, who is applying her skills as an intern at Forbes, Inc., in New York City. She wrote:

These kinds of real-world experiences give students an edge as they enter the workforce or proceed to graduate school after commencement. That’s why Colgate has made internship support a strategic priority. Visit the Center for Career Services website for more information, and keep tabs on our internship blog series throughout the summer for more first-person reports.
