Veterans Day is special for a few reasons. Freshmen have survived their first set of midterms – remember Internship Prep Begins Now! Sophomores and juniors are struggling to recover from caffeine abuse and all-nighters. Some are just beginning to rejoice in scoring an awesome internship at on-campus recruitment and some are rejoicing at scoring an awesome internship on WayUp.
Seniors are beginning to work on their thesis and they’re beginning to slowly think about post-graduation career plans. Most importantly, Veterans Day is special because it is the day that we honor our men and women in uniform – who defend our freedom to choose majors like Film Studies and Philosophy – and so, to our Veterans we say, thank you!
Most students, around this time, are too exhausted to think about searching and applying for an internship. After all, Thanksgiving break is just around the corner. Why not just apply for internships after my second turkey sandwich and third slice of sweet potato pie? Well, because, there’s no time like the present.
In honor of Veterans Day, we have highlighted a few internships from the United States Department of Veteran Affairs (USDVA), whose mission is simple: “To serve and honor the men and women who are America’s veterans.”
One of the awesome parts about interning at the USDVA, besides their great mission, is that they offer multiple internships across the country – some are even paid positions. Below are links to a few different internships offered through the USDVA. The list below is not exhaustive and we encourage you to check out the USDVA for more information.
