The Bernard M. Baruch Presidential Leadership Program for Interns

New Presidential Leadership Program for Interns

Baruch College has launched a new internship program, one that will benefit both our students and Baruch College as a whole. Beginning this semester, the Bernard M. Baruch Presidential Leadership Program for Interns will provide a stipend of $5,000 each to 20 Baruch College students annually. The students selected for these internships will be assigned to rigorous and substantive projects that are designed to advance the goals of the College and improve our practices and procedures.

This will be a competitive program for high potential students, both graduates and undergraduates. These students will have the opportunity to deal with real-world issues in a meaningful way. A subcommittee of the Baruch College cabinet will select the projects to which student interns will be assigned.

Fostering the leaders and practitioners of tomorrow is a prime goal of Baruch College and we understand that education is not confined to the classroom. The students selected for this internship will be expected to devote 300 hours per academic year to their duties. Applicants will be interviewed to assess their qualifications, interests and suitability, so that we can make the best match possible between interns and work assignments.

The new Presidential Leadership Program for Interns is very much in the spirit of our namesake, Bernard Baruch, who was a proponent of service to others as well as a champion of the young.
