We look forward to sharing our internship journey with you during LEAP Symposium. Please visit our presentation! Our summer advocacy work experiences in law and STEM can be applied on a larger scale by combining both our in-class Mount Holyoke experience with our post-graduation plans. Each of us tailored our internship experience to fit our academic and professional goals, allowing us to gain a deeper insight into the work world. Although we worked across various fields - education, the law and STEM-based research - we found that each of us collectively represented voices that may not be traditionally heard. Throughout the process we were able to share knowledge and see our own professional growth. We look forward to seeing you!
