As recent studies have shown, internships are vital to helping today's students launch their career. That's one reason why each semester, Growing Leaders hosts a handful of interns and offers them a chance to impact the lives of fellow students and young adults.

If you know of any college student or recent graduate looking for an internship, please share this opportunity with them. Applications are due May 15th, which is only a short time away. For more information, please direct them here.

Women in Computing Visit DayFriday, March 31 | 9 a.m.–5 p.m.Computing is about more than video games and entertainment. Computing professionals develop security solutions, improve medical technology, connect the world through technology, and create new solutions to make the world a better place.
Michigan Tech invites female high school students in their junior year explore the powers of computing during our Women in Computing Visit Day. This all-day event will highlight how problem solving and logical thinking can be used in the fields of computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and software engineering.
While you're on campus, you will:

• Program a virtual reality scene
• Build a working heart rate monitor
• Make your own hologram
• Use programming code to control a robot

During lunch, you’ll join current students majoring in computing to hear about their experiences and ask questions. Plus, get details on careers in computing, applying for admission, and scholarships.
Family members are invited—we have events planned for them, too!
There is no cost to participate and you don’t have to be an expert to join in the fun!
