Here are some employer highlights. Find the opportunity that combines your interests by researching what the company does AND what kinds of internships they offer. (TIP: Unpaid? No sweat! Apply for the Tufts Career Center Summer Internship Grant before March 29th.)

Science/ Engineering + Public Affairs
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection seeks Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Engineering students for various paid and unpaid internships. This is the perfect opportunity for students with a strong science background but also a passion for public affairs. Check their employer page on Jumbo Jobs for more details about work authorization requirements.

Communications/ Marketing + Sociology
Calling all digital natives...just take a look at the tabs you have open, you know who you are! Communispace is a really cool market research agency that creates its own 'private online community of consumers' and draws marketing insights from studying them. If you have an interest in communications, or sociology, chat with Communispace about their paid Community and 'Idea Group' internships!

Music + Computer Science/ Engineering or  Communications/ Marketing
Musical? Enjoy music? You may have heard of Kurzweil Music Systems, manufacturers of electronic keyboards since the 1982. Like music and have an interest in computer science, engineering, or marketing? Kurzweil has paid opportunities in software engineering, quality assurance, and social media marketing!

Non-ProfitCommunications or Development
The Mali Health Organizing Project will be recruiting students for development (fundraising, development, programming) and communications and media. Attention those with a knack and a desire for community organizing, non-profit work, the Mali Health Organizing Project is dedicated to improving maternal and child health in Mali and West Africa--reach out for an opportunity to work in their Boston headquarters!
