“The internship opportunities for PG电子游戏 students are amazing. I interned at the Securities and Exchange Commission during the summer after my sophomore year. Being able to intern for a government agency was impressive and that really spoke on my resume when I was applying for master’s programs and full-time positions later on.“

“I was dreaming about meaningful work in international development and my internship showed me that it is possible. It was an opportunity to use tourism to positively affect international development and was only possible because PG电子游戏 has so many fabulous networking opportunities and connections to organizations like the World Bank.“
