For approximately 66 undergraduate women at Harvard and Radcliffe, spring break will mean participating in the Externship Program, a unique opportunity to explore career and lifestyle choices firsthand. Now in its 20th year, the Externship Program at Radcliffe College matches young women with alumnae sponsors. The program runs from March 22-29. Our Radcliffe alumnae open their homes to their externs. This week of 'shadowing' gives students an overview of sponsors' professional and personal lives.
Students see the rewards and pitfalls of a particular profession firsthand.
The sponsors' professions include attorney, physician, filmmaker, journalist, educator, artist, judge, and research scientist. The Externship Program is part of the Radcliffe Office of Undergraduate Programs. The new Harvard French Literary Magazine is looking for submissions of poetry and prose in French or work pertaining to Francophone culture and art. All students in the University community are welcome to send submissions, which are due April 3. We are thrilled by this important contribution.
