Mentoring:
The Emerging Professional Summer Internship Program presents engaging opportunities for interns to build individual capacity and assimilate interns into the employment life at UMass Chan. We accomplish this by matching each intern with a mentor based on similar educational and career interest. We want each intern to get the most out of their internship with like-minded professionals who can help guide and support the learning experience.
