The Center for Social Innovation and Enterprise’s (CSIE) summer Social Innovation Internship program is under way with several international affairs dual majors as part of this year’s group.
Internships for People, Planet and Profit
CSIE selects a handful of idealistic, high-achieving, impact-focused student leaders for the Social Innovation Internship program. Each intern works at a different leading for-profit or nonprofit organization for a rigorous and meaningful summer internship. Interns spend the majority of the summer at their respective host organizations and occasionally come together as a cohort for trainings in social innovation and entrepreneurship. At the end of their internship, students present on their experiences at the Showcase. We hope you can join us on July 25th.
