Covid-19可能已经停止了人的实习，但富勒斯利学生们在过去的春天和夏天仍然获得了宝贵的工作体验，感谢Alumnae。

More than 300 students connected with employers from home on their laptops as part of Career Education’s new virtual internships. The experiences were made possible in part by 120 alumnae who took on interns remotely, guiding them through virtual projects. Many alumnae hired multiple interns. Students learned about new industries and roles, honed speaking and technical skills, and benefited from career advice.

「今年夏季，我们根本无法为学生提供机会，没有Alumnae网络，“职业教育临时执行主任Jennifer Pollard说。

The virtual projects not only helped meet the need for experiential learning, but they also established a new model for increasing equity and access to opportunity. Students who before may not have been able to fly across the country for an internship—because of cost or a disability—can now test out different careers remotely.

Exploring Public Health

Shreya Huilgol '21期待着作为Welleston实习计划的Wellesley的一部分，漫步。然后来到Covid-19。

该计划的alumnae联络枢转，在政府和政治中呼吁校外与学生一起工作。Huilgol最终通过Erika Willacy '99进行了在线实习，计划领先于疾病控制和预防中心的国际公共卫生劳动力发展计划（CDC）。

“实习与我对公共卫生的兴趣进行了一致，也是及时给予Covid，”Huilgol从她家的Huilgol说。

Huilgol and Willacy, who is in Atlanta, met twice a week over Zoom, and Huilgol spent the spring and summer building an interactive map that ultimately will help Willacy understand how well public health institutions in low- and middle-income countries support their workers, and how the CDC can help. The map will bring to light what helped workforces succeed during COVID, what hindered them, and will inform pilot programs to make improvements.

“我需要推进项目，我跳上了机会，”威廉说。“Shreya很高兴与我们的团队无缝堕落。”

So much so that when Huilgol’s internship was over, Willacy found a way for her to stay on into the fall. Soon, Huilgol will vet her work over Zoom calls with public health leaders overseas.

“今年夏天真的巩固了我的公共卫生的途径，更具体地说是全球健康，”Huilgol说。“我感到如此支持，我有更清晰的了解毕业后的事情。”

帮助风险的青年

当神秘作家Katherine Hall页面'69收到了一封来自职业教育的电子邮件，寻找虚拟实习导师，她是第一个回复的电子邮件。

她为青年倡导基金会的Wellesley学生建立了实习，这是一个努力在马萨诸塞州结束学校到监狱的管道的波士顿非营利组织。通过集团的举措之一，律师向法院涉及青年提供教育宣传。页面位于董事会上。“我们结束了这个索菲亚的宝石，”她说。

从她的家在曼哈顿，索菲亚格林伯格'21-谁应该在乌拉圭学习 - 花了春夏设计了一个全新的本组织的三角形手册。她还在其年度报告上致力于捐赠捐助者数据库，并通过主题演讲者和沉默的拍卖帮助计划了一个虚拟筹资活动。

“I’m dipping my toe into lots of different areas,” Greenberg says. “I’ve been getting better at written communication and definitely strengthening my design skills.”

The internship was so successful that Greenberg is also staying on with the foundation through the fall. The impression the work made on her, however, will last even longer.

“我甚至都不知道这种存在这种法律，”格林伯格说，“在实习期间，我有一个epiphany - 这是我毕业后我想做的工作类型。”
