The first flakes of snow have already hit the ground, and campus is settling into that late-fall rhythm. With Thanksgiving on the horizon, it’s a time for wrapping up midterms, catching your breath, and maybe daydreaming about mashed potatoes and a few quiet days off. But before you shift fully into holiday mode, it’s worth taking a moment to think ahead—especially if a summer internship is on your wish list. Many employers in industries like finance, consulting, and tech are already reviewing applications and setting up interviews. Getting an early start now can make your spring semester a whole lot easier.
Whether you’re updating your resume, exploring Handshake listings, or reaching out to alumni, the Greene Center is here to help you stay on track. From figuring out what kind of work excites you to preparing for interviews, we’ll help you move forward with confidence.
