College Internship Program

Summer@CIP Bloomington – Indiana University students are making the most of every moment with escape rooms, comic book shops, arcades, bowling, volunteering at Hoosier Hills Food Bank, and so much more! 🎳🎮

But what makes the Indiana experience truly unforgettable is the chance to spend two weeks living on the beautiful Indiana University campus alongside peers who just get you. From late-night conversations in the residence halls to shared meals, campus walks, and unforgettable adventures, lifelong friendships are built every day.

Home of the reigning NCAA Football Champions, there's no shortage of Hoosier pride either. Never Daunted...Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoosiers! ❤️🤍

Summer at CIP Berkshire students made the most of every moment, from exploring marine life at Mystic Aquarium to working together through the challenges of exciting escape rooms!

Back on the Westfield State University campus, students experienced the best of college life—sharing meals in the dining hall, relaxing with friends in the rec room, and building independence while living in the residence halls.

Every experience is designed to strengthen confidence, social connections, and the skills needed for a successful transition to college and independent adulthood.

Long Beach Summer@CIP students enjoyed an outing to cheer on the Los Angeles Angels (let's go Halos!)! Our students scored valuable real-world experience budgeting for tickets and concessions, practicing social skills, and taking in the excitement of a Major League Baseball game. ⚾

🐾 Behind the Scenes with CIP Berkshire Student Kat at Hearth & Hound! 🐾

At CIP, our community partnerships are at the heart of helping students gain real-world experience and our collaboration with Hearth & Hound is a perfect example!

Hearth & Hound (a doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Lee, MA) offers an ideal learning environment for students ready to take their animal care careers to the next level. Having previous experience around animals, Kat joined them this past spring to sharpen their skills in pack management, animal behavior, and high-standard sanitation and safety protocols.

A huge thank you to Hearth & Hound’s founder, Alexis! As a former nurse, Alexis brings both high standards and immense compassion to her work. Her calm, patient approach makes her an incredible mentor for students, and her expert staff (including on-site vet techs!) truly understand how to keep animals safe, happy, and healthy.

We are so grateful for community partners like Alexis and the Hearth & Hound team who open their doors to support, educate, and empower our students! 🐶✨

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! Wishing everyone a joyful and safe Fourth of July weekend.

As we celebrate our nation's quarter-millennium, we recognize the enduring spirit of freedom, equality, and opportunity that continues to inspire us to grow, support one another, and become the best versions of ourselves.
