Funded internships open doors to graduate schools, career paths, and personal growth
Through donations from alumni and friends of the University, the Gwen M. Greene Center for Career Education and Connections funded summer internships for 92 Rochester undergraduates in 2022. Since many coveted internships come with limited or no compensation and are located in some of the most expensive regions of the nation, this funding is critical to ensuring all qualified students can meet their travel, food, lodging, and living expenses. Above, Rob McIntyre (right), an Emmy Award-winning supervising sound editor and sound designer, reunited with Grace Stensland ’23 in the control room of the recording studio in Gavett Hall during a recent campus visit. Stensland interned with McIntyre at Sound Rebels, an audio post-production company in Burbank, California.
