Behind the CV: Stories from Faculty is an event series about becoming and being a researcher and scholar. Faculty share their stories with a focus on the unspoken challenges of a life in academia. This session will feature Prof. Thomas Mallouk, Vagelos Professor in Energy Research and Professor Chemistry and Chemistry Department Chair.

The fair is intended to provide a “one-stop shop” for undergraduate students interested in learning more about summer opportunities provided through Penn entities including internships, research experiences, or funding to support expenses associated with low-paid or unpaid opportunities (such as housing, food, travel, etc.). This event is co-sponsored by Career Services office and CURF.

The Summer Humanities Internship Program (SHIP) is a 10-week funded program in which students intern in arts, cultural, or historic organizations throughout Philadelphia. SHIP is open to students in the College in their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd years. At this info session, you can learn more about the different host sites for 2025, the varied opportunities you might have as a SHIP intern, and tips for producing a strong application.
