Enhancing the Husky Experience

At the Career & Internship Center, our mission is to empower all students with the skills, experiences, professional connections, and academic knowledge needed to pursue fulfilling careers. Established in 2018 by Provost Dr. Gerald “Jerry” Baldasty, the Internship Equity Fund is a critical part of fulfilling that mission, as it reduces financial barriers and supports Huskies in pursuit of high-quality internships in at government and non-profit organizations across the nation.

Managed as the Public Service Internship Award, the fund provides underrepresented students the opportunity to participate in meaningful summer internships and clarify career goals, gain technical skills and grow their professional network. Students selected for the program work with staff at the Career & Internship Center to secure an unpaid, or underpaid, summer internship in the non-profit or government sector, and receive funding for successful completion of program requirements.
