As we move through Thanksgiving week, we’re just a few days away from the final stretch—classes wrapping up next week and finals following right after. It’s a natural moment to slow down, enjoy the break, and recharge. Still, amid the pause, it’s smart to look a bit further ahead, especially if you’re hoping to land a summer internship. Employers in fields like finance, consulting, and tech are well into their recruiting timelines, reviewing applications and scheduling interviews now. A little planning during this quieter week can save you a lot of stress once spring rolls around.
If you’re polishing your resume, browsing opportunities on Handshake, or connecting with alumni for advice, the Greene Center is ready to support you. Whether you’re clarifying your interests or preparing to shine in an interview, we’re here to help you take your next steps.
