Internship testimonials

"It has been an amazing experience, between getting involved with the community and volunteering at the Planned Parenthood community outreach events. Planned Parenthood is an organization that I have always supported so being able to work with them has been phenomenal."

Gloria Teigland on her internship experience

"Since the major is so broad, it’s often hard to figure out what jobs to do. The internships can give you an eye-opening view of what you can do with the degree, and they cover things vital to the major."

Phil Mitchell, an alum who interned at the Human Development Center.
