The Career Services and Leadership Education office has awarded Summer 2002 Internship Fellowships to 29 students, to assist them with expenses they incur as they gain career experience. Established in 1997, the Intern Fellowship Award is designed to promote leadership and career development opportunities for undergraduate students. Awarded to students who have secured internships, including structured career development or research opportunities for the coming summer, this award is intended to help offset the costs of living, travel and other expenses incurred during the internship experience. Initially created by a generous gift from Vivien Gardner Hannon '43, the fund making the awards possible has now grown to include several other donors, including the Sol Feinstone Alumni Award fund, Michael W. and Pamela Van Hoven Clark Career Planning Fund, trustee Jan Langlois '71 and some anonymous gifts. In reviewing applications, first priority is given to alumni-sponsored internships coordinated through the Career Services and Leadership Education office, but all applications are considered. This year, there were a record-setting 64 applicants and more than $20,000, a record amount, was awarded to students.
