| | Thank You Summer Internship Hosts | | |
The Economic Club thanks our member organizations that hosted Scholars during the Summer 2026 Internship Program. Your partnership provided students with meaningful opportunities for professional growth, hands-on learning, and valuable career connections.
Looking ahead, we are now seeking member hosts for the Summer 2027 Internship Program. These placements, complemented by professional development workshops and career guidance, give Scholars the real-world experience they need to launch their careers.
