s a student I interned with the Gates Foundation, thanks to incredible support from Graduate Career

Services. From preparing my resume to aligning the internship with my career goals, the staff worked side by side with me. Now, I’m part of an alumni community that is committed to staying engaged with current students. Career Services makes that engagement easy and rewarding, whether it is hosting summer interns or hiring quality graduates at my place of work, or coming back to speak with students about careers in international development and philanthropy.”
