Internships
If you’ve never had to reach out to someone about a job, it can be tough to know where to start. Luckily, we’re here to make introductions. The Rollins Internship Program works to match up companies and programs with students looking to gain hands-on experience in their field. Our career advisors will help you in your search, and guide you through the Academic Internship Reflections course you’ll take once you land your internship.
More Information on Internships
Gateway Fellows
Gateway Fellows is a selective program that increases access to summer internship opportunities through financial and professional support. Gateway Fellows are free to fully immerse themselves in these career-making experiences without the concern of additional financial burden, as funding for the program covers all expenses, including accommodations, travel, and food.
Career Champions
We may be a little biased, but our alumni are pretty impressive. Many go on to make a huge impact, and if there’s anything they love more than solving the world’s most pressing problems, it’s mentoring fellow Tars. That’s the idea behind the Career Champions Mentorship program, which formally connects current students and alumni.
Career Advising at the Career Studio
When opportunity knocks, you just can’t wait. That’s why the Center for Career & Life Planning developed the Career Studio, a dynamic space where students can drop in for one-on-one career advice without an appointment. Fine-tune your resume and cover letter. Prepare for that all-important interview. Whatever your career need, we’re always ready to lend a hand.

“Be willing to use all the resources, staff expertise, and professional knowledge that’s available. Had it not been for the one-on-one meetings with my professors and all the people at the Career & Life Planning office, I guarantee I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
