What Former Students Say
- "When I graduated with three different internships, I still didn't know what I wanted to do, but I had a great foundation of what I didn't want to do, and that was a lot more valuable than I thought." — Gina Valerio, '16 Eng (ME)
- "Being a Career Envoy was a very rewarding experience. By assisting students with their résumés and interviews, I was not only able to help them secure internships but also able to strengthen my interviewing skills. I was also able to help fellow international students navigate through the different recruitment processes. The entire experience has been instrumental in my role as a mentor at educational non-profits as well." — Akshay Sanwal, '17 Eng (IE)
