Becca Smith (SoC ’17) is a Communication Studies and Spanish double major. Becca spent a day job shadowing a Northwestern alumnus at The Richards Group via the NEXT program.

Tell us about the organization and alumnus that hosted you. Why were you interested in job shadowing this alum?
I completed my NEXTernship with The Richards Group, an advertising agency located in Dallas, Texas. I shadowed Brad Todd, one of the Principals at The Richards Group. I was interested in The Richards Group because I wanted to get a feel for the advertising and marketing scene in Dallas, as I am very interested in working there after graduation. Brad’s position interested me because I could tell that he had experience and connections in every branch of The Richards Group, giving me overarching exposure to the advertising industry.

What did your day entail?
When I arrived, I was greeted by Brad and Kelsey Hoffmann, one of his team members. I chatted with different members of The Richards Group before sitting in on a brainstorming session. Much to my surprise, my opinion was encouraged and accepted with the same attention and importance as everyone else in the meeting. We took a tour of the building and I saw how much of an emphasis The Richards Group puts on a balanced and healthy lifestyle. The building includes a full-size gym, free healthy snacks, and exercise classes. After lunch, my day finished with sitting in on a few meetings and talking to people from different departments.

What was your biggest takeaway from your day? What new insights did you glean from this experience that will help you most as your prepare for or make decisions about your career path?
As cliche as it sounds, I left The Richards Group feeling at home. I already had a network of brilliant people in an amazing company, simply by spending eight hours with The Richards Group. After my NEXTernship, I realized just how important it is to think about how you and a company “fit” together. I had an absolutely amazing experience and I am so thankful to The Richards Group, Brad Todd, Kelsey Hoffmann, and the NEXT program for giving me this opportunity.

The Northwestern Externship Program (NEXT) matches Northwestern students with alumni for a day of job shadowing each spring, co-hosted by NCA and the Northwestern Alumni Association.

SIGP 2016: NCA awards record number of grants to support unpaid summer internships

Career Development, internship, Northwestern, northwestern university, SIGP, summer internship grant program

One of four groups of 2016 SIGP recipients

The numbers are in: More than 350 students are receiving grants of at least $3,000 to participate in unpaid internships this summer as part of Northwestern Career Advancement’s (NCA) annual Summer Internship Grant Program (SIGP). These students are part of the 10^th SIGP class, which awarded the highest number of recipients from the largest pool of applicants, surpassing last year’s record of 255 grants. The program has come a long way since its inaugural year in 2007, when fewer than 100 students applied to receive one of 10 available grants.

SIGP’s primary purpose is to provide funding to Northwestern undergraduate students who are completing internships in fields that do not typically offer paid experiences. The grant covers students’ living and travel expenses throughout the duration of their internships.

NCA executive director Mark Presnell said that it was difficult to predict how much SIGP would grow this year, but that its increase in applicant numbers shows the demand that exists for this type of funding. Seven hundred students applied for a grant this spring, nearly double the number from 2015. Applications include three essay questions that are evaluated on several points, including demonstrated need and consideration of internship learning objectives.

“I think it’s clear from a student perspective that SIGP allows students to pursue a wide range of interesting internships without concern for personal funding,” Presnell said.

This financial support allows SIGP recipients to pursue opportunities that otherwise might not be possible. In 2015, eighty-six percent of SIGP recipients surveyed said that they would have had to turn down their summer experience or supplement it with a second job had it not been for SIGP funding.

For Corinne Wessels, a rising junior in the School of Education and Social Policy, SIGP has allowed her to pursue her dream internship at Lurie Children’s Hospital in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatient Program.

“To me, receiving a SIGP grant was so much more than money,” Wessels said. “Without a SIGP grant, my amazing experience at Lurie Children’s Hospital would not have been possible. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatient Program deeply relates to my aspirations of a career in psychological services and mental health. Thanks to a SIGP grant, I am able to gain a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as an undergraduate student at Northwestern University and gain valuable experience, in an environment that resonates with the future atmosphere of my career.”

SIGP funding comes from a variety of sources, such as Northwestern alumni, staff, central administration and friends of the University. Major contributors include the Alumnae of Northwestern University, Council of One Hundred and Buffett Institute for Global Studies.

This summer, SIGP students are interning at organizations such as the United States Department of Commerce, American Documentary Inc., and CNN Buenos Aires. Students will travel to internship sites all over the world, from Chicago and Washington, D.C., to Argentina and Hong Kong.

Magdalena Flores, a rising sophomore in the School of Communication, will pursue an internship at the Latino Policy Forum in Chicago, where she will build on her communications skills.

“Receiving a SIGP grant means that I am able to gain the real-world experience that will help me in my future career path after Northwestern,” Flores said. “As a communications intern for the Latino Policy Forum in Chicago, I am able to apply theories learned in academic courses to my daily media and public relations tasks.”

Frank Laucerica, a rising senior in Bienen, will participate in his second SIGP internship at the Miami Summer Music Festival. He values the learning opportunities that are paramount to the internship experience.

“Internships help us maximize the time we invest in the pursuit of mastery,” Laucerica said.

To round out their internship experiences, SIGP recipients are also engaging in career development activities throughout the summer, such as participating in discussions on LinkedIn, conducting informational interviews, and networking.

employers, Experiential Learning, Fellowships, internships, jobs, Northwestern, northwestern university, Recruiting, Research, Study Abroad, Travel, Volunteer, Winter Internship & Job Fair

With finals behind you and three weeks of break ahead of you, it’s likely you’ll have some downtime.

Our advice? Use your free time to prepare to land a summer opportunity at the UCS Winter Internship & Job Fair on January 9 in Norris — whether it be an internship, job or fellowship, volunteer service, research or travel. If that isn’t incentive enough, we’re offering our LinkedIn Photo Booth (free professional headshots) from 12:30-2:30 p.m. at the fair (first come, first-served) and the first 500 students to arrive at the fair will receive a free business card holder, thanks to Coca-Cola.

Here are 10 things you can do in the next month to make sure you’re ready for the big day:

1. Prepare your resume: Review and update your resume to tailor it to the type of position you are pursuing. Print multiple copies of your polished resume on resume paper.

2. Research the employers who will be attending the fair and potential opportunities. CareerCat, Hoovers, and Glassdoor can help guide your research!

3. Prioritize the employers based on your interests. Find a full list of employers in CareerCat > Events > Career Fairs.

4. Prepare and practice your Elevator Speech, a 30 second-1 minute pitch about yourself and your interest in the employer and/or specific opportunity. A successful elevator speech is brief and will answer two basic questions: Who are you? And why are you interested in this opportunity?

5. Practice responses to sample interview questions.

6. Develop questions for each employer/recruiter. Have the questions ready in a notebook or folder. Your questions should be thoughtful; the internship & job fair is not an opportunity to ask about things you can find on the employer’s website.

7. Purchase and/or polish a suit.

8. Organize your materials for the fair (folder, notebook, portfolio, etc.)

9. Plan to visit your career advisor during all-day UCS Express Advising to have your resume reviewed or your questions answered before the fair. Express Advising is Wednesday, January 8 and Friday, January 10, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at UCS (620 Lincoln St.) and the UCS Express Advising Center in the Main Library, 2^nd Floor, Core.

10. Mark your calendars for the “Preparing for the Career Fair” workshop, offered Wednesday, January 8 at 4 p.m. in 620 Lincoln.

Tips for the Upcoming Career Fair

So two days into the Fall Quarter and I’m already talking about attending Career Fairs! That’s right- companies have been calling and emailing all summer because they want to meet you and share with you their employment opportunities. Due to the quarter system and starting a bit later than normal, companies are anxious to get to Northwestern and start recruiting. This isn’t a bad thing, but it leaves little time for NU students to prepare for the fall recruiting season.

With the Fall Job and Internship Fair on Tuesday, October 2nd from Noon-4pm in Norris University Center, 2nd Floor, I thought it would be good to share with you all a video UCS made at our Winter Fair last January. The advice still applies and comes straight from the recruiters. Most who will be here again this Fall!

In addition, UCS staff will be at Norris, Louis Room from Noon-4pm on Monday, October 1st hosting the One Stop: Career Fair Prep Walk-in Event. It is a stop in and come back later if you need to style program. Come in to get quick answers to your career fair related questions, receive a resume review, practice answering recruiter questions, practice your elevator speech, etc. We’ll also have Career Guides, listings of the companies who will be at the Career Fair and more resources.

See you all next week at one of THE networking events of the year at Northwestern! Go ‘Cats!

career, development, internship, investing, northwestern university, northwesternucs, SIGP, The Eleos Foundation, ucs

As a Summer Internship Grant Program (SIGP) recipient, I had the opportunity to explore a career path that interested me. I had no previous experience in the international development field and was curious about the unique experiences that the field has to offer. I became an intern with the Eleos Foundation in Santa Barbara, California. The Eleos is a nonprofit organization that invests in early stage social businesses in Africa and India. Essentially we invest in Tom’s-shoes-like companies. And at the end of the day, I learned about the environments in which I do, and don’t flourish.

I arrived at my internship nervous and eager to learn. It was a small office with three full time employees and two other interns in a large office building. I was expecting menial tasks, grunt work, as I had heard horror stories from my peers’ interning experiences. I was happily mistaken. I only had to make coffee once, and used the copy machine when I needed it myself, rarely for my supervisors. Instead, I was given research projects that would help steer the future of the organization. I always felt appreciated and felt like an asset rather than a burden.

My projects, although at times repetitive, gave me a broad understanding of the impact investing field, as well as a deeper understanding of the foundation itself. For my first project, I researched hundreds of investors, networks, and incubators/accelerators in the impact investing community and mapped out their risk levels and how well they match up to the Eleos criteria to investing. Not only are these organizations good contacts, but they are potential partners for the Eleos as they continue to look for appropriate entrepreneurs. One of the biggest challenges in the impact investing community is the lack of a single network to connect entrepreneurs to potential investors or incubators/accelerators. This project was helpful for the foundation to find appropriate contacts in the future. I also researched various successful social entrepreneurs in Africa. These companies are good contacts for Eleos investments. I researched everything from SoleRebels, an Ethiopian fair trade zero emission shoe company, to the One Acre Fund teaching agricultural techniques to increase yield for subsistence farmers, to Nuru Energy Group increasing access to affordable and sustainable energy solutions. I am proud to say that I have completed something tangible and helpful and learned about the incredible work of others in the field.

I gained invaluable advice from the Eleos Foundation’s CEO, Andy Lower, about the international development field. I would not have had the opportunity had I not taken this position. My eyes were opened to a new kind of thinking, in which it is our sole job to empower others rather than do it for someone else. We discussed his detest for Tom’s Shoes as it disenfranchises those living in poverty, and alternatives for companies with one for one models such as Tom’s. His advice about keeping my mind open to all future employment opportunities after college was very helpful.

Through this job, I began to form my own opinions about the best approach to international development, a hotly debated topic that I had previously felt too ignorant to debate. My experiences have given me the knowledge and confidence about the field I need to help to shape my future in the direction that I feel most passionately. I am proud that I put myself out there and experimented with something that was interesting to me. Even if my experience had not been as positive, it would have been helpful later on when I begin to job search. In addition, this experience has motivated me to be successful in my education to go on and make a difference in the international development field.

The most inspiring part of my experience was knowing that I was helping people help themselves. Rather than giving a person a fish, we were teaching them how to fish—helping people to life themselves out of poverty. Not only was this exciting, but motivating. I do not want to be apart of something that makes a difference throughout developing countries, but I want to do this by helping others to make a difference within their community. This kind of empowerment is what will make a positive impact in our world.

This summer, I had the pleasure of interning for Congressmen Sander M. Levin [D-MI] on Capitol Hill.  I am an economics major, so my original goal for the summer was to stick on the econ track and go into finance or consulting.  However, I decided to keep an open mind and apply to other internships that I found interesting.  For example, I thought it may prove interesting to intern at the corporate headquarters of Build-A-Bear for the summer.

However, my dad encouraged me to apply for an internship in Congressmen Levin’s office.  I researched Congressmen Levin and discovered that he is the ranking member on the Ways and Means Committee.  I got in touch with his economic advisor and internship coordinator and sent in an application.  I did not hear back for a while and was not expecting anything since I applied so late and I assumed that many people had already applied.

Fortunately, I got accepted and have loved interning here.  The first weeks I was here, I got to work with the economic advisor on the debate to extend the Bush tax cuts.  It was really fun to see when Democrats were on the floor and would cite numbers from the tables that I had made for them.  It was also exciting to work with the press secretary and get a report that I had made released.  Over the last few weeks, I answered phones, sorted mail, and did general intern work as I was the only intern left in the office.

However, working on the hill is “what you make of it.”  You need to explore on your own and look for things to learn.  I got lucky that the office that I worked in encouraged me to do this.  There are many briefings and even an internship lecture series that you may attend.   Make sure to meet other interns as this will make your experience more enjoyable and you will also learn about how other offices operate.

Anacostia Community Museum (ACM), internship, northwestern university, northwesternucs, Sarah Turner, washington dc

For the past month I have interned at the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum (ACM) in Washington, DC. I imagine that those of you somewhat familiar with the Smithsonian’s museums have not heard of this museum. To be honest, even though I’ve grown up in Washington, DC for the majority of my life and live about five minutes away from ACM, I only vague memories of visiting about 10 years ago.

I managed to stumble upon this local museum haphazardly by applying to every Washington, DC-based art museum for a summer internship. I locked onto the museum partially because I wanted to work with a museum that I did not already know a lot about, but partially because of the aforementioned five minute commute. Despite my questionable intentions, I ended up at a museum with a surprisingly interesting history.

The ACM began as a museum to attract the African-American community of Washington, DC to the Smithsonian in the 1960’s because only about 1% of local African-Americans were taking the time to visit the museums in their own backyard. The museum began housing the leftovers of the more prominent National Museum of Natural History and National American Art Museums in an African-American neighborhood. It was not until a fiery community activist took over, however, that the African-American attendance shot up. He changed the focus of the museum to local, African-American activism with an exhibition on the rodent epidemic plaguing the poor. Since then the museum has focused on urban and folk art.

Upon learning this history I was glad that I joined a small museum, of only about 20 full-time employees, to focus on a community driven theme not often emphasized in larger-scale museums. My job involves creating a comprehensive list of ACM’s many, many objects ranging from an impressive collection of Aunt Jemima objects to a self-taught artist’s woven baskets. I sort through photographs of the items and label them according to an attached number, called an accession number. Although at times the job can be tedious, at the end my work will help ACM complete the Smithsonian-wide decree for an online database for other museums to have an idea of new collection trends, loan possibilities and general openness between the nation’s interactive learning centers. My experience here has showed me that interning at a small place can be just as rewarding, if not more so, than a larger place due to the increased exposure to the different deparments.

P-type Doping in Paradise, NU Intern Blogger: Rachel Beal

Other RISE Interns and myself (4th from left) before a group dinner

Greetings from sunny Santa Barbara! I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the past seven weeks in a Research Internship in Science and Engineering (RISE) at the Materials Research Laboratory, University of California, Santa Barbara. Interns are funded by the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, and are spread out across a variety of science, engineering, and math departments at the University.

As a temporary member of Professor Ram Seshadri’s group in the Materials Research Laboratory, I’ve investigated the synthesis of several complex palladium oxides in addition to their electrical and magnetic behavior. My project, “Electronic Doping and Dilute Magnetic Spins in Complex Palladium Oxides,” explores the possibility of spin-coupling interactions in systems doped with a small amount of Cu²⁺ ions via the conduction of electron holes introduced by substituting an electron-deficient cation into the oxide crystal structure, a process called “p-type” doping in Materials Science. “N-type” doping, or the introduction of additional electrons via substation instead by an electron-rich cation is paired with hole doping to make a P-N junction as a means of amplifying electric current in semiconductor technology like LEDs and lasers. The pairing of semiconductor and magnetic properties in a single material is studied in the field of “spintronics,” and could have exciting technological applications like an instant-on computer where the hard-drive and processor are combined in a single device—computer memory is magnetic whereas logic is performed by semiconducting microchips.

After attending a seminar given by the NU Office of Fellowships during SummerFest this past spring, I looked in to the different Materials Science research opportunities listed on the National Science Foundation website. I applied for a number of positions and jumped at the chance to take advantage UCSB’s outstanding Materials Department and Materials Research Laboratory as well as their nearly on-campus lagoon. I’ve had a rewarding experience both in and out of the laboratory, taking advantage of all the California landscape has to offer from bouldering in the Santa Ynez Mountains to bronzing on sunny beaches.

In fact, finding the right work/play balance has debatably been the key to having a research experience that has been both enjoyable and successful. My internship seems to differ from a typical nine-to-five foray into the corporate world in that it is equal parts industry and academia, and learning to set reasonable daily-research goals has allowed me to budget time for both magnetic measurements and my yoga fetish.  As a student interested more in the Research and Development side of the business sector as well as a graduate degree, immersion in to the research process has been both eye opening and affirming. As I prepare to start my junior year as a Materials Science major in Weinberg, interacting and sharing research experiences with Ph.D. students in my field has helped me solidify my long-term goals in academia and my future career. Similar REU programs are offered in a number of different science and math related fields and I would recommend the experience to any student considering graduate school—several students here are also preparing to apply for medical school—and looking to expand their academic experience beyond the shores of Lake Michigan.

And for those prepared to endure a sunburn or two shedding the pallor from a January to June hibernation in the Tech basement, I have to tell you, California ain’t bad.

Farewell from the Golden State, and see ya in September!
