Sip wine and chat with students and alums who have held planning-related internships around the city and the nation! Get tips, hear about different experiences, and make some valuable connections. We will have planners who have interned in housing, economic development, Mayors’ offices, federal and city government agencies, parks, arts, transportation and research! Learn how some have leveraged internships into full-time positions.

We even have alums who are currently looking to hire fall interns – so have your elevator speech ready!

Wine and snacks will be served. We would appreciate your RSVPs so we can purchase refreshments accordingly.
