As QTPOC, we are witnessing a pendulum swing and backlash to strides and advances that we’ve seen in recent years. When our communities face seeming (and actual) apocalypses, it’s important to reflect on how our ancestors sought survival and found magic in communities of rage, joy, and care. This workshop may include topics specific to participant interests including Black Fatigue (Winters, 2020); Experiments in Joy (Civil, 2019); and centers individual & group reflection activities.

Our work included administrative desk work for an Educational Collaborative, communications at a midwifery non-profit, management for an organization dedicated to supporting incarcerated people, and PR/Marketing at an eco-friendly restaurant. We hope that this panel gives you a broader sense of how our non-profits fit into the larger workforce, how to speak across different industries and expertises, and how to navigate boss and coworker relations on small teams. Administrative and communication jobs keep the world moving! We welcome you if you are seeking an internship that allows you to stretch your independence and self-determination, if you are looking for advice on the education and midwifery fields, or if you are still wondering where you will end up!

This summer, our panelists paved their path of exploration through roles that occur behind the scenes to keep these cultural and educational institutions functioning and relevant. They worked in areas such as operations, education, community outreach, and collections management in museums focused on history, art, and science. They gained hands-on experience in a variety of tasks, between designing educational programs and handling archival materials, and witnessed the impact museums have on their communities. They hope to introduce peers and the public to the possibilities in museums and the distinct ways that museum work can contribute to various communities across the world.

Our research explores a wide variety of cognitive mechanisms that influence human behavior. This panel focuses on several aspects of psychology, including addiction, attention, major depressive disorder, and stereotype formation. Two of our panelists spent time working with mice and analyzing data through a neuroscience lens, focusing on major depressive disorder and addiction. The other two panelists worked on collecting data from humans by testing their abilities, asking questions, and observing their behavior to study attention and stereotype formation. Together, our work showcases the wide range of research topics within the realm of psychology.

All panel members were interested in biomedical science research careers, specifically in neuroscience. From Western blots to immunohistochemistry to flow cytometry, we each gained valuable insight into what it is like to work full-time in a wet lab. In addition, we explored a variety of institutions and lab settings. Together, our projects examined different mechanisms of brain disease using different model organisms, including mice, humans, and cell culture. Our collective research this summer was personally meaningful to each member and will hopefully contribute to the larger development of cures for diseases that are not yet fully understood.

Our internships focused on the logistics of editing documentaries, creating museum exhibits, and app releases. By researching our intended audiences and user bases, we gained a clearer understanding of how to prep promotional materials. The process of editing a film, organizing information for a display, and revising a pitch are grounded in feedback; we're here to talk about how we took those conversations and turned them into results.

Despite working in four different lab environments this past summer (University of Utah HEART Lab, CAPS Lab, and two different dissertation projects), our panel navigates what it means to us to be a researcher's and develop our own research identities. Spanning cognitive neuroscience, quantitative sociology, clinical psychology, and counseling psychology, our panel's summer pursuits exposed us to the depth and breadth of what data collection, cleaning, and analysis can look like in an academic setting. This panel will discuss what day-to-day life entails as a social scientist and the areas we enjoyed as well as struggled with! Even though we worked in different sectors, our panelists shared the common experience of becoming an independent researcher for the first time. This provided meaningful insights into what our future careers may hold, giving us an appreciation for the multifaceted role of a "researcher".

You will hear from students who gained first-hand experience in law enforcement, researched "hidden sentences" within the U.S. criminal justice system, single-handedly assembled aircraft to aid researchers, and created databases tracking international news coverage. Each of these students entered their summer experience with limited previous exposure. Each was determined to contribute to the betterment of the systems they were part of. All four students spent their summer outside of what felt comfortable and familiar; all four walked away with new career goals and a revitalized understanding of the ways they could change the world.

With one of our panelists working with a food pantry, another conducting a needs assessment for a domestic violence prevention service, and a third at a university's LGBTQ+ resource center, our panel spent the summer providing community resources in various ways, serving diverse populations. From nonprofits to government work, the impact of the current political climate on our work this summer was felt. At an environmental justice organization, one panelist learned about revolutionary movements and political circumstances, while another worked with immigration cases in the U.S. Attorney's Office. Our panel will explore society's perceptions of social justice and how we witnessed it play out in our respective internships. We will also explore the fostering of community support and resource development at a variety of scales.

Our panelists had very different summer experiences, from internships at neurosurgery centers to those in equine veterinary hospitals, but all came to the same conclusion: every task is vital to the medical team and the shared goal of assisting our communities. The panel will provide insight and advice on the nature of medical internships, and explore how each of our panelists came to appreciate the importance of these responsibilities, such as organization, restocking, and preparation. We will also delve deeper into each individual internship, as well as the struggles and moments of fulfillment each panelist experienced along the way.

While Lily and Althea focused on film and creative media to create documentaries on social issues such as Christian nationalism and ALS, Elisa and Zoe interned for well established organizations focused on providing a safe space for vulnerable youth. All four different experiences led these panelists to learn how to represent various populations, conduct informative dialogues, and actualize their Mount Holyoke education. These opportunities inform how these students are looking toward their futures after graduation. Attendees will better understand how "representation" can look many different ways depending on location, community, outreach, and more.

We'll talk about what we learned in the unique contexts of our internships, as well as what we learned more generally about maneuvering a lack of a consistent schedule. We will share strategies for self-management and making your own schedule when that structure is not provided for you. Through a combination of administrative and advocacy work, we all gained valuable experience in a wide variety of fields and obtained insight into managing independence in the workplace.

Between these topics, we share one thing in common: we spent our summer building something requiring an immense amount of self-motivation. We learned that the measure of our success was a direct reflection of our passion. More so, we took our passions to another level by creating and even inventing something tangible. Many of us wrote grants for the first time; some of us pursued our passions by exploring various design iteration techniques, website design, and even building companies. Despite the diversity of experiences, we believe our efforts in these independent projects serve the greater community.

Across our summer experiences, we explored how organizations develop and adapt teaching methods, resources, and learning environments to meet the needs of the specific populations they serve. Equitable education does not always mean providing every student with the same resources or methods. Instead, creating meaningful access often requires adapting educational tools to the needs of different learners. Although we all worked with different communities and in different educational settings, our experiences raised a shared question that we will explore during the panel: How can we work within institutions to create learning environments where materials and teaching practices are adapted to the learner rather than relying on a standardized approach?

Within various settings, our work challenged us to experience the importance of these connections through archaeology, environmental science, environmental justice and policy, and research into Indigenous relationships with land and food systems. Some of us looked to the past to understand the human beings who lived on the earth before us, while others examined present environmental concerns or considered how we might build more meaningful partnerships with the land as we forge ahead. Collectively, the knowledge, skills, and perspectives we gained will continue to shape our decisions as we are thrust into the future, ever choosing to remain committed to the health and well-being of our built environment while we advocate for both people and the land.

At The Barnes Museum in Southington, Connecticut, Yasmeen learned how even the most seemingly commonplace items can contain rich histories. Lindsay worked at the Frances Perkins Center in Newcastle, Maine, completing projects with collection items and working at the front desk. Meg worked at the Saratoga Springs History Museum in upstate New York, handling archival materials and leading tours about the building's history as an illegal casino. Finally, at Village Preservation in New York City, Emma helped preserve access to public history and local stories through an archives project and independent research opportunities. From historic houses to history museums to historical societies, we spent the summer learning the importance of public history in building community and drawing connections.

Our experiences varied across different types of archives: a larger, more established archive, a younger community based archive, and a college archive. We worked with many types of materials including documentaries, digital sources, articles, and magazines. We learned about using archives for academic research, worked to properly maintain and adapt materials digitally, and contribute to the respective missions of our organizations. Our panel will explore what we gained and learned from archival positions and what it can be like to preserve materials relating to social justice and progress in queer and Black communities.

This panel seeks to tease out some of that nuance; through work in pro bono legal services, creative arts therapy, a mental health hotline, and harm reduction, we all worked to serve individuals left out of more standard modalities of assistance and care. While our experiences were unique, we each share a passion for helping our communities and bridging long-existing gaps in service across disciplines. Attendees will have the chance to learn about how more unconventional practices can further inclusive and accessible care, increasing individual and collective well-being.

Despite working with the traditional media forms of radio and newspaper, our internships required us to adapt to unfamiliar technologies and teach ourselves new skills. Our panel will discuss the experience of growing these skills as well as how we improved our professional communication abilities, as we each spent time interacting with volunteers and community members. Each working with organizations in the cities we grew up in, our panel members were drawn to organizations with deep community ties and involvement, where we could understand and build connections with the people we worked with and served.

Our panel illustrates the path that scientific knowledge takes from the field to the public. Our summer experiences spanned from collecting crabs in a salt marsh, caring for zoo animals, inventorying the plants of a botanic garden, all the way to creating a display on 20th-century paleobotanical fossils using archival research. We will discuss the intersection of history and science, and our experience in navigating the current job market for the natural sciences. Come learn about the birds, the trees, and everything in between!

Between running from ticks, combing through wetlands, and 90-degree forest treks, this panel connects over their shared experiences within woodlands, salt marshes, and beaches. When they were not out in the field, panelists found common ground in their experiences contending with computer programs such as Arduino, R, and Geographic Information Systems in order to visualize collected data. Through these first-hand experiences, panelists were able to gain a greater understanding of their interests, as well as the paths within their respective fields that they can follow in pursuit of them. By the end of the summer, panelists were able to navigate some of today's most pressing questions regarding anthropogenic ecological impacts.

Our panel follows that journey through five internships across the US, China and Ghana. We begin with a small business in Connecticut, building its online storefront and reaching first customers, then move to a promotional products company in Massachusetts, where tracking margins shaped day-to-day decisions. From there, we step into banking, with private banking in China, where the client's needs were the focus, and corporate and investment banking in Ghana, where interest rate movements shaped the advice given to institutions. We end at Mount Holyoke’s own endowment, where capital is allocated to managers for the long-term. Along the way, we reflect on a skill all five roles developed: turning numbers into something a customer, client, or decision-maker could actually use.

Panel members worked in fields including cosmology, neuroscience, neuropsychology, genetics, and microscopy which enables them to represent the computational and lab work across these fields. The underlying thread connecting everyone's work over the summer was data. Some members started with data that was already numerically coded, while others had to assign numerical values to concepts or classifications in order to evaluate their data properly. No matter what field you are interested in, being able to use data to understand common trends is an important skill. Each panel member will provide an overview of their summer work as well as a detailed discussion of how data analysis helped them succeed. The panel members look forward to explaining the work they have accomplished over the summer, the future implications of their work, their learnings and caveats for future aspiring researchers.

This panel brings together five students whose summer research sits at the intersection of mathematics and programming. Their projects span pure and applied mathematics: proving new results on r-partition graphs with help from SageMath, constructing classical and quantum error-correcting codes, building efficient solvers for random differential equations through Polynomial Chaos Expansion, training computer vision models to detect roof damage, and helping industrial robots localize themselves in the dark by matching infrared and color images. The presenters range from first-year students to upperclassmen. Together, the talks show how code can test a conjecture, scale an algorithm, or carry mathematics into the physical world, and offer practical insight for students considering research of their own.

Each of our internships focused on a STEM or natural sciences discipline in a different time period through history. From billion-year-old diamonds to modern and futuristic agricultural practices, our comprehensive time scale includes historical documentation and specimens from the 1800s through to our modern era. The science libraries, natural history museums, and research institutions that each panelist interned at are all knowledge holders with stories to tell about STEM in all its contexts. In the times we currently live in, where science and academic communications are continuously subject to disinformation, analyzing and applying our history and knowledge is more critical than ever.

With Dr. Dara Norman, Director of the Community Science and Data Center at the NSF’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab)

Refreshments at 4:30 pm, talk begins at 4:45 pm.

Most of us who become professional scientists choose the path of a career in science out of an interest in learning, understanding, a curiosity about a topic (or even a single question!), and/or because we think it is interesting and fun. But where do the resources come from to do the work that advances us in our careers? Some research may be funded by industry or philanthropy, but the vast majority of discovery research scientists are funded through federal and state government, which means being funded by the general public. Making what we do as scientists not only interesting to the public, but also understandable or even relevant is key to maintaining public support for research science, including discovery sciences, like Astronomy. In this talk, I will discuss why scientists need to be engaged in science advocacy and policy, especially now! I’ll give some tips for how you can be engaged to maximum effect, whether you are interested in public outreach, educational engagement, chatting with politicians or becoming a policy wonk yourself!

Dr. Dara Norman has been active in efforts to improve the culture and grow the workforce of Astronomy and Astrophysics. She has been an active member of the American Astronomical Society’s Committee on the Status of Minorities in Astronomy (CSMA), Committee on Astronomy and Public Policy, and chaired the AAS task force that wrote the AAS Code of Ethics. She has been chair of the ASTRO section of the National Society of Black Physicists and co-organizer of the 2015 Inclusive Astronomy Conference, convened to discuss intersectional barriers and solutions to success in astronomy. In June, she completed her tenure as the 50th president of the AAS.

The John Lax Memorial Lecture was endowed in 1982 by the late Professors Peter and Anneli Lax of New York University’s mathematics department, in memory of their son, John, a historian who taught at Mount Holyoke in the mid-1970s. After John Lax’s premature death, his parents created a permanent memorial in the form of this annual lecture. The Lax Lecture is given by a historian of the highest distinction to commemorate the work and spirit of John Lax by making the latest advances in history accessible to the public.

This event is sponsored by the Mount Holyoke College History Department.

A founding member of the landmark Black string band Carolina Chocolate Drops and supergroup Our Native Daughters, Giddens is as much curator as creator. She serves as Artistic Director of the Yo-Yo Ma–founded Silkroad Ensemble, hosts PBS’s My Music with Rhiannon Giddens, and hosted the podcasts Aria Code and American Railroad. Her discography on Nonesuch Records includes solo releases, collaborations with Francesco Turrisi, Silkroad’s American Railroad (2024), and What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow (2025) with Justin Robinson.

Her work spans media, from authoring two children's books and scoring Red Dead Redemption II to consulting on the film Sinners (2025), acting on ABC’s Nashville, and appearing in Ken Burns’ Country Music. In 2025, she launched Durham’s Biscuits & Banjos festival to celebrate Black culture outside the mainstream, establishing the Biscuits and Banjos Foundation in 2026 to house her mission-driven work.

Pitchfork calls her exploration "fearless and ravenous," leading NPR to name her one of the 25 Most Influential Women Musicians of the 21st Century and American Songwriter to label her “one of the most important musical minds currently walking the planet.”

The Distinguished Artist Series is organized collaboratively by Mount Holyoke’s Weissman Center for Leadership and the InterArts Council. This engaging program reflects the center's support of public presentations by scholars, artists, writers, and practitioners who connect the academic work of the college with the public sphere.

Learn about search strategy and MHC-specific resources from staff of the Career Development and McCulloch Centers, along with students who’ve successfully secured international internships before.

We will cover how to: set goals, find opportunities to match those goals, build strong applications and make a good choice when offered an opportunity.

This program is part of a suite of summer planning workshops offered intentionally around the LEAP Symposium and the launch of the 2026-2027 Lynk Summer Funding Program. We recommend that you select one of the following workshops; choose the one that best aligns with your goals rather than trying to attend more than one - about half of the content will overlap between programs.

Finding an InternshipFinding International InternshipsFinding Summer Science ResearchFirst Year, First SummerAll sophomores and juniors should also plan to attend the Lynk Summer Experience Program Orientation (unless you've already completed the program).

This workshop can also be offered for specific majors or groups of students with similar interests. To request a targeted workshop for your Student Organization, please email internships@mtholyoke.edu. If you would like a workshop targeted to your major, ask your department chair to reach out to Alexis MacGregor, Assistant Director of Experiential Learning, to schedule a session.

Accessibility:

For inquiries about the accessibility of this event or to request any accommodations, please contact the Career Development Center Team at cdc@mtholyoke.edu.

Dr. Catherine Dulac, Professor
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Center for Brain Science;
Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator
Harvard University

Social interactions are essential for animals to survive, reproduce, raise their young. Over the years, my lab has attempted to decipher the unique characteristics of social recognition: what are the unique cues that trigger distinct social behaviors, what is the nature and identity of social behavior circuits, how is the function of these circuits different in males and females and how are they modulated by the animal physiological status? In this lecture, I will describe our recent work uncovering how discrete, molecularly defined neuronal populations participate in the positive and negative control of the drive for social interactions when animals are isolated or part of a group, and share our new insights into the brain-wide response to social isolation. Finally, social behavior is highly affected in sick animals and I will describe our recent progress in understanding how specific brain circuits and cell types direct adaptive changes in behavior during various forms of sickness in mice, providing a new framework to understand the function and modulation of behavior circuits in health and disease.

Refreshments will be served.
