The From Here campaign will raise $37 million to offer students the opportunities and resources to land their first great job, and to build a career that surges and sails and soars.

The jobs of today cross boundaries between disciplines, and demand the thing that º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ has done so well for centuries: teaching students how to think, not what to think. Visual artists find fulfilling work at Apple; English majors study medicine; and º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ biochemists run global nonprofits.

Summer internships—once a rare opportunity—are now a necessity.

An undergraduate professional internship has become an essential qualifying activity to gain access to postgraduate jobs. The largest portion of career funding, $25 million, will enable every aided student to receive a grant for at least one summer internship.

“My internship granted me a holistic view of health care and showed me the importance of empathy, kindness, and open-mindedness—all of which are essential to being a successful physician.”
