Our 2024 Summer Intern Program has come to an end! We are pleased to have had another successful term with an impressive class of summer interns.
To end the 2024 program, our interns presented their CEO Capstone projects to our Executive Leadership Team, marking one of the most exciting days of the summer! The Capstone project gives interns the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by finding new ways to promote innovation across our real estate portfolio through research and collaboration.
Throughout the summer, our interns have been diligently working on innovative solutions to leverage the future of CRE and create value by optimizing our assets.
Take a look at some highlights from this year's CEO Capstone Presentation and Intern Socials.

It’s that time of year when businesses start thinking about summer help. Could you use an intern this summer? Here are several things you need to consider before bringing on your first intern.
Come see us on campus!

Application Deadline is Friday 01 November.
I loved this post from Asya Sharrow, and I think it's a great thought-exercise: Which early rejection are you most thankful for?
For me, it was probably being rejected from the University of Michigan's Creative Writing Program (now called the Helen Zell Writers’ Program) back in ~2000.
Being a fiction writer was my greatest ambition at the time. Not only did I have a great deal of passion for writing, but I also had a VERY, VERY high opinion of my abilities. (Yes, even back then!) I thought the application packet I submitted was going to blow everyone's wigs off, guaranteed.
Except it didn't. And being labeled "not good enough" made me rethink...everything. Certainly my career path, but also my ability to self-evaluate.
I'm not going to lie. It really hurt at first.
But it also forced me to get creative about how I wanted to apply my talents and interests. After I got the rejection letter, I decided to re-focus on working for The Michigan Daily and exploring opportunities in journalism.
That led to a madcap five-year run in the world of New York magazine publishing, and then seven years in online media — all of which gave me the skills I needed to transition to content marketing, a profession that has made me feel truly successful for the first time in my life.
Now, what if I was one of the chosen few that got picked for U of M's Creative Writing Program? What if I'd gotten accepted, instead of rejected?
I really don't know. Maybe I would have developed the skills and confidence to eke out a living as a semi-obscure fiction writer who publishes something every few years and never sells enough books to pay back my advance (or pay off my MFA loans), who has to supplement my passion through teaching creative writing, even though I was never a fan of being in classrooms in the first place. And that's a *best-case* scenario for most people who go through these programs.
As a working artist, I would have continued to build my life on rejection letters and acceptance letters — a terrible way to live.
My early rejection felt like a steel door slamming shut on one pathway in my life. But there were so many other pathways in front of me! I just didn't see them at first.
Once I found them, the rest of my life began.
In college, I applied for a summer internship at a big four consulting firm in NYC. Even with a 4.0 GPA and a finance major at a reputable business school, I didn’t get it. My first big rejection and I couldn’t handle the embarrassment and shame of it. I felt like a loser. I was sure this setback would impact my career forever.
It did.
I can’t be sure of what would have happened had I landed that internship but I can tell you with certainty what *wouldn’t* have happened.
I wouldn’t have extended my European semester abroad into the summer which means...
I never would have met Sebastien Vandecasteele which means…
I wouldn’t have moved to Barcelona which means…
There would be no SLAPS which means…
I wouldn’t spend every day with the best team along side my best friend, husband and business partner which means…
I wouldn’t have been back this week to see the work our team did for Female Founders Fund's CEO Summit on the floor of the NYSE which means…
I wouldn’t have heard the stories of setback and success from Diane von Furstenberg, Arianna Huffington, Cathy Engelbert and so many others.
Maybe I’d still be in NYC working for that same large consulting firm. But I can tell you that the life I have now is more fulfilling, balanced, exciting and challenging than I could have imagined in those internship application days.
Thank God I didn’t get that internship.
Huge thank you to FFF for the continued partnership and incredible day - you girls crushed it!
It’s that time of year when businesses start thinking about summer help. Could you use an intern this summer? Here are several things you need to consider before bringing on your first intern.
This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Campbell's summer intern class alongside Rebecca Gardy, IRC and Julia Anderson. Speaking about my own career journey, I shared a few pieces of advice with our interns as they begin to navigate their careers.
◼️ Embrace risks and take "left turns": Career paths are rarely linear. I took several “left turns” in my career. Every “left turn” I’ve taken has been a valuable learning opportunity and chance for growth. Don’t be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone, be bold and take risks!
◼️ Seek out a mentor: Finding a mentor – someone who knows you and your career goals - can be one of the most impactful steps in your professional journey. A mentor can be a great sounding board for career twists and turns. They can offer crucial insights, guidance and connections to help you grow.
◼️ Make it a habit to ask questions: Be curious about how things work, your colleagues and how to make things better. Curiosity breeds curiosity!
It was an incredible experience to speak with these bright young professionals - we’re lucky to have them!

First internship programme that I have seen that delivers so much to young people preparing for the world of work.
The video from TelevisaUnivision shows interns getting first hand experience of working in a large, fast paced organisation.
I think it's a great example of what successful internship programmes look like. Do you know of any similar programmes in UK businesses?
