Gwen M. Greene Career and Internship Center

Exclusively for URochester undergraduates, the program is made possible by trustee Judith Reinsdorf ’86.

A unique approach to learning to communicate their professional identity gives Rochester students an opportunity to connect with and learn from alumni, parents, and community members.

“I think my studies at Rochester in theater and sociology and in the humanities—I took a lot of English, history, and philosophy—really were the best kind of preparation for work in communication and journalism,” says Charles Kravetz '74.

Starting in the fall semester, the Gwen M. Greene Career and Internship Center is rolling out a new career community model—a network of partners from a group of related industries to help students connect with industries and professions.

Hosted by the Gwen M. Greene Career & Internship Center, the awards honor student organizations and partners who exemplify the center’s values—respect, collaboration, diversity and inclusion, betterment, and purpose.

By tracking data on job placement, salaries, and location, students can “go online and see that, just because you have an English degree or a psychology degree, it doesn’t mean you have to work for a certain company.”

Joe Testani succeeds Burt Nadler, current director of the Greene Center, who announced his intent to retire last year after 16 years in the position. Testani will join the University in June 2015.
