Valuable Internship Experience

In addition to your classroom experience, we recognize the importance of real-world application. Through our partnership network, students are provided with opportunities to actively apply their learnings within their chosen field.

I began my internship at Eggleston uncertain of my path but eager to help others. It took two days to realize my calling in social work. Now as Program Manager, I find joy in guiding interns through their own discovery processes. Supporting B&SC students in their internships is a rewarding full-circle moment.

My internship gave me the opportunity to experience working in the Legal field. As a result, I developed invaluable skills and had a much greater concept of my career choice. One of the most heart-warming benefits is the confirmation that I truly enjoy doing what I had spent my time at B&SC studying for.

Interning at William Mattar provided training and a better understanding of what it would be like to work in a personal injury law firm. I learned so much and I am still learning new things daily! I feel truly lucky to have been connected with this firm and have been employed full-time for almost two years. I have B&SC to thank for this!
