Our interns are smart, creative, and thoughtful students from around the world who study graphic design, arts administration, marketing, engineering, fashion, industrial design, economics, photography… you get the picture! Every semester, we work with students to create an internship experience that will provide practical experience and supplement classroom instruction.
