Program Events, Seminars, & Networking
The New York Internship Program events are one of the most popular features of our program. The events are planned to give you full exposure to your new city, while combining travel, with many of the most popular attractions in the city. Although your summer will be filled with gaining valuable work experience, it is very important that you gain the full experience of living in New York City, and our events will do just that. The following are just a few examples of activities from past programs, and the full roster of summer activities will be announced later in the year.

You will get a glimpse of the Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Wall Street, Rockefeller Center, and Lincoln Center just to name a few. You can make any notes on sights that you may want to go back and visit in further depth. You will not want to miss out on learning all about your new home for the next two months! You’ll get a chance to dine at a restaurant in Times Square with hundreds of new friends. Come join us as we get settled here in the city that never sleeps.
Seminars & Networking
The Dream Careers Speaker Series occurs after work where industry professionals share their success stories and outline the essential aspects of preparing for life after college. The Speaker Series is a valuable aspect of the Internship Program, as it allows you to gain insight from industry professionals. Additionally, you will spend time building your professional network, as you will have time to talk with each at the end of their speech.
With the support of our partner NYU, those that participate in our Dream Careers Speaker Series will be provided with contract academic credit from NYU. For additional details please go to our Academic Credit page.
