Pre-graduation experience is a crucial component in making solid career choices and attracting attention from not only employers but graduate schools as well. Many of today's employers make specific efforts to attract students for temporary roles through which they can become acclimated to the employer's environment and demonstrate the skills and attitudes necessary for more permanent employment. These same employers value any effort by students to engage in activities that challenge them to apply their learning to real problems and situations. The purpose of this section is to alert students of the many opportunities available at Syracuse to pursue such valuable experience. 113 Euclid Avenue 443-4271 SUIP places students in internships during both the academic year and during summers, in the Syracuse community and across the nation.
