Another thought for #Childlifeinternship coordinators in the week before #OFFERWEEK: As a faculty member at #BankStreetCollegeofEducation, I assist students in preparing for fieldwork and internships. In the past, I have advised them that hospital Child Life teams look for a "good fit" when evaluating potential candidates. However, in light of the growing awareness of racial and ethnic diversity disparities within our field and the unique needs of neurodivergent learners, I am questioning whether this approach is still appropriate. In our polarized world, barriers are broken down when we open ourselves to different points of view, backgrounds, language styles, and temperaments. Maybe the next best intern isn't the one who fits in, but the one who challenges your team to grow and engage in courageous conversations. Please consider this while making your final decisions about what is good for your team.

The Evanston Scholars RISE (Relevant Internships for Successful Employment) program supports Sophomore College Scholars as they work to secure internships, research opportunities, or fellowships during the summer break. We want our Scholars to begin the process of launching their professional careers well before college graduation. Here, Sajeda Yagoub (Stanford University) shares what she's looking forward to about her summer internship at Stanford University School of Medicine. Thank you to our Career Partners for supporting our Scholars with opportunities to learn and grow professionally.

What has been the best experience of my internship? I would say the day I was able to learn about dry needling and try it on myself. I was a patient in physical therapy and so I know what a lot of the exercises feel like and the scraping, etc. But to learn about dry needling and get to try it for the first time as an intern was such a cool feeling! I remember how my face lit up when my mentor asked me if I wanted to try, of course I do! He showed me what to do by doing it on me first then let me try it on myself. #nebointerns #internships

To all the #interns starting this #summer! Here's my throwback, because you asked 😝 and because I don’t want you to just be fetching coffee! One of my most formative internships was when I was 19. I'll forever be thankful to Representative Marie J. Parente for looking past my immaturity and giving me the chance to work on a significant state bill. Without her, the trajectory of my professional career would have looked so different. So, to the interns out there, I'd say this: 1. Fine, go fetch the coffee, but advocate for your success. 2. The people who have contributed to your success...Thank them. One day you will need them down the road. What was everyone’s first internship?! Who would you thank? #InternLife #CareerJourney #Mentorship #Gratitude #mentalhealth Massachusetts
