During the freshman year, Wabash faculty and staff will work with WLAIP participants to begin identifying potential career aspirations and interests. We hope this special counseling will guide students to pursue a resume-building experience during the summer after their freshman year.
Our Career Services' staff will work closely with each student, particularly during the spring semester, to help them identify, apply for, and secure summer internships or research opportunities that fit with their academic and career interests.
Sample second year experience opportunities include but are not limited to:
- on-campus research within an academic department.
- on-campus internship.
- off-campus internship in a business, industry, or non-profit organizaiton throughout the United States.
- immersion learning programs in locations such as Ecuador, Peru, or Germany.
Note that the WLAIP program cannot guarantee that all students will secure a paid internship. Given the support that our Career Services team provides, however, most students who want such an internship can find one, particularly if they engage early and often with the Career Services team.
