Internships

Dominican helps students secure the right internship opportunities that offer hands-on career experiences and invaluable lessons in leadership.

What stands out to me about Dominican is how dedicated the student leaders are. There are students who genuinely care about our Dominican community and actively strive to create a better culture on campus. Their passion and commitment are both comforting and encouraging.”
