On Friday, August 9th, nearly 30 Columbia University employees joined 15 interns at the closing celebration of the 2013 Columbia University Manhattanville High School Summer Internship Program. The teenagers gave presentations highlighting key skills learned from their summer experience. More than 150 youth applied for the five-week paid summer internship. The successful applicants from the local community worked throughout the University in positions supporting a range of programs from communications and research to planning and engineering. The interns also visited Columbia University Medical Center's Cardiac Center and Diabetes Center, attended a résumé workshop, and attended several panel discussions to learn about the construction of the Columbia University Manhattanville campus, Operations and Capital Projects management at the University.
