培育经济学引线的激情的FDIC实习

For Washington & Jefferson College junior 翅果德尔, keeping a full schedule is second nature. The financial economics major and 中文 and accounting minor added to that schedule with an internship with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

W&J’s 就业服务 resources helped Samara to find and land the internship after encouraging her to join W&J’s online job search platform, which connects students and alumni with internship and employment opportunities. At the time, she was completing a semester abroad in Ireland at University College Cork where she studied economics, Chinese, history and English, but she didn’t let the time difference stop her. As Samara became more involved with her 中文 studies, she completed a Magellan Project in China. The following summer she completed a six-week internship as part of the implementation phase of Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment (LIASE) program grant.

W&J has been full of learning opportunities for Samara. “I’ve had so many good experiences because of W&J,” Samara said. “There’s so much the College has to offer, and I want to take advantage of everything while I’m here.”
