Not sure what to expect from an internship? Here’s some advice from a former intern:
“Many folks have an assumption that internships are rigid and concrete, planned out for you from the very beginning with no wiggle room. Depending on your organization, that might not be true! Try to set your own boundaries, offer your own goals, and even pitch ideas that others might have not thought about before. It can go a long way to making an internship feel like yours.” (Bea Phi ’24)
