Summer Externship Program 2008

OBTAINING A SUMMER EXTERNSHIP

What is the Summer Externship Program?

This program, open only to University of Rochester freshmen and sophomores, provides an opportunity to learn about a career of interest through a shadowing experience. Students who are accepted into the program are matched with an alum or professional who is currently employed in the student's field of interest. This one or two-day shadowing experience allows students to get an up-close look at a professional, observing a mentor's typical day and facilitates career conversations with mentors and others. This experience facilitates focusing on career interests while nurturing contacts for future internship and job search efforts!
