Hello,
the Bridge Into Internships program is a six-week (June 15th - July 31st) pre-internship experience designed to provide rising college freshmen with hands-on learning, professional development, and exposure to careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The program is intended to help prepare students to be internship-ready for future opportunities, including programs such as SULI and SIP.
Mentors play a key role in this experience by offering guidance, sharing insight into their work, and helping students better understand what a pathway into STEM can look like in practice. Mentors are paired with a student and support them in learning the tenets of research within their discipline. For many participants, this will be their first meaningful connection to a STEM professional and a national laboratory environment.
If you are interested in serving as a mentor or learning more, please join us for an information session on Wednesday, April 8. If you know someone on your team or at the lab who may be a good fit, please feel free to share this opportunity.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support and shape the next generation of STEM professionals.
Best,
Brandon Pope
STEM Education Outreach Coordinator
