Thanks to generous donor funding, the Career Center will fund eight student interns this summer who are working/volunteering in the Milwaukee and Fox Cities areas in positions related to social and environmental justice. Each student will receive academic credit and up to a $5000 stipend to support their work throughout the summer. This money can also go towards housing, which we can help you find!
