Our next summer internship highlight features Gracie Park '27, a Kinesiology major from Palo, Iowa, who journeyed across the country to UPenn for an internship in Sports Performance with a focus on strength and conditioning.

Internships not only offer crucial experiential learning opportunities, they also open doors to professional networking. Gracie observes, "Everyone in this career field knows people, so once you have an in with someone, you are able to meet lots of people who can provide opportunities... No matter what, every relationship I build during my time here at the University of Pennsylvania is important because you never know when our paths may cross again."

This summer, Cornell has 12 student interns across the world doing incredible things for organizations and employers. Today we are featuring Mardo Ntonku '27, a Business Management and French major, who is interning at the Catherine McAuley Center in Cedar Rapids IA. He works in the Language Lab teaching English to recent immigrants.

"This experience is already teaching me valuable lessons about intercultural communication and professional development... Cornell College has prepared me well for this experience through my coursework in French, communication, and collaborative learning. My academic experiences have helped me become more open-minded and comfortable working with people from different backgrounds."

Stay tuned for more summer intern features over the coming weeks!

Congratulations to Isaac vanWestrienen for winning the national title in the 10000-meter run at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships last night! 👏

For those of you who followed along with internship blogs last summer, you might remember that Isaac listed a goal at the end of his final blog post: to become a men's cross country national champion in November. While he placed third in that cross country contest, we hope this different national championship title is just as sweet a victory!

Well the summer has finally come to a close. The past 9 weeks have been full of work and running and I have loved every second of it. I am currently sitting on the couch at my house watching the US outdoor track championships and waiting to leave for work in about an hour. The past week was one of m...

This block, we're spotlighting Garrett Roehl '26 from St. Cloud, Wisconsin, who will graduate with a BA in data science this May. Garrett completed an REU at the University of Iowa last summer on Computing for Health and Well-Being. With that experience still new on his resume, he recently accepted a full-time Technical Solutions Engineer job with Epic in Verona, Wisconsin.

Garrett says, "I came into the BCI initially for help with the internship search and application process my sophomore and junior year. I needed some help with my resume, and I didn't really know where to start with things like LinkedIn or Handshake. Stopping into the BCI was helpful and it got me on the right track with the process. It also helped me to understand a little more about the way the professional world works.

Seniors, as you embark on this final block at Cornell, Garrett's advice is to "keep trying with applications and keep working on improving in terms of resume and relevant skills."

Have an awesome last block on the Hilltop!
