Student Internship Stories

In the Career and Community Engagement Center, we believe in learning by doing. The Whitman Internship Grant (WIG) program provides students with invaluable hands-on experience across various industries, both in the U.S. and across the globe. In this series, we’ll share inspiring stories from students who have leveraged the WIG to explore work in tech startups, environmental organizations, art galleries, public health initiatives, and more. Discover how these internships are shaping students' futures and how you, too, can benefit from this incredible opportunity.
