Events and Applications
BOLD Career Center Highlights
An externship is an immersive workplace experience lasting one-two weeks in which students are mentored by a professional in their area of interest. Participating in this job shadowing experience allows students to work on projects, learn about the status of women in the workplace, and get an inside glimpse into the day-to-day work life of a particular career. No prior experience is required.
Douglass' programs in public policy, politics, and law connect students with experiential learning, professional mentors, and internships that prepare them for careers of public service.
Douglass students experience college supported by a network of staff, professionals, and peers that provide guidance and opportunity at every turn in the road.
“As a peer mentor, I have put in immense effort into helping mentor, guide, and assist other undergraduates in finding their place at Douglass. I really developed as a leader.”
