The College, Internships, and Career Series is a list of interviews displaying the college-to-career lives of students and how they blossom into professionals. Interviews can discuss solely internships and networking; how a person picked their college major and the internships they had to build experiences; and lastly—finding a career after graduation and how students got into their positions.

These interviews are student spotlights from various institutions and define a wide range of diverse industries and fields. These interviews will show the reader the end result of the hard work put into college and how students can obtain strong experiential learning opportunities (such as internships and service-learning) to finding jobs they are proud to call their careers.
