“My internships have helped me decide about future career paths and learn more about the community. As I go on, Hartwick faculty members are preparing me to further accomplish anything I want.”

“Our programming is flexible and the faculty are very supportive. We bend over backwards to help students double or triple major or add a minor; it’s part of getting them ready. This environment encourages creative thinking and working outside the box.”

“Gaining experience is critical. An internship can be taken as a major elective at Hartwick and that’s unusual. As a faculty we’re very proactive in helping students get an internship and make connections to their studies while they’re on the job. This year nearly half the students doing Emerson international internships are business or accounting majors and the entire first cohort of Baker-Simpson Fellows are our students.”

“Dr. Allen was one of my references when I applied to a fellowship program at the National Institutes of Health after graduation. When I interviewed for a position in an HIV immunology lab, the director was very interested in the research I had already done. I got the job and had an amazing two-year fellowship.”

“I’m now in the MSPH/PhD program at UNC Chapel Hill – one of the top public health school in the country. I am one of the few people in my cohort with a strong applied microbiology and immunology background, which helps me in my infectious disease epidemiology research and coursework. I can thank Dr. Allen for that.”
