“Classes will only take you so far. Apply for internships, even if you don’t think you’ll get them.”
Meet Sezar F***j: a University of New Hampshire junior from Manchester, New Hampshire, studying Accounting.
This summer Sezar landed a position as a Finance Intern (Early Talent Internship) at Novo Nordisk in West Lebanon, New Hampshire.
He knew Novo Nordisk by reputation for its work in GLP-1 drugs, but hadn't expected to see them recruiting locally. When he saw their name at the 2026 UNH Spring Career Fair he walked straight up to introduce himself.
Novo Nordisk operates a 350-employee rare disease medicine production facility in West Lebanon, NH. Thousands of people globally diagnosed with Hemophilia and Growth Hormone Disorder rely on the medicines being produced in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley by this highly specialized team.
This summer, Sezar got the chance to see firsthand how the concepts he’d learned in the classroom translate to the day-to-day work of a global company.
His days were split between focus-time budget work in Excel, meetings with different teams to talk through their numbers, and regular 1:1s with his manager, all work which leans directly on what he learned in Managerial Accounting and Management Information Systems back at Paul College.
Outside the office, he's bonded with his fellow interns over a King Arthur Flour trip in Norwich, VT, and a shift volunteering together on a community farm.
Sezar credits Paul College’s Internship Opportunity Fund with making this internship possible:
“It's thanks to IOF that I accepted the offer, as it made it feasible for me to do this program.”
Thanks for sharing your internship story with us, Sezar!
