Career Planning and Internships: Campus Resources

Wesleyan's Internship/Experiential Learning Program provides support and guidance to students seeking learning experiences applicable to their coursework and career aspirations. The Internships/Experiential Learning Program offers presentations regarding the stages of the internship process; programs like the annual Internship Fair, Sophomore Shadow program, or Alumni/Student Speed-Networking; and one-on-one guidance and support in seeking and/or solidifying internships.
