INTERN
CONNECT 2019
September 20, 2019: TSAN started the Intern Connect
event a couple of years ago with the purpose of giving the incoming students a
preview of the internship search process, listen to the experiences of the
seniors and understand the importance of early kickstart in their searches.
Intern Connect 2019 too, witnessed a huge turnout of
all the curious first year students hungry for all the information they could
get, along with many second-year students too. TSAN was successful in arranging
a panel which was from possibly every domain that the students might be
interested in. The panelists had a lot to share from their individual experiences
and there was no dearth of information, tips and anecdotes. Some of the points that
were a part of the discussion were:
- Technologies and Responsibilities in the internships.
- Application process
- Interview Preparation
- Resume Building
We thank Dr. Rikin
Thakker for the five important bullets that were a part of his inspiring speech
viz. Engagement, Volunteering, Explore your own Interests, Coexistence and
mainly to have fun once in a while.
“Gain experiences for your life, not for
your resume.” – Dr. Rikin Thakker.
We also thank
Dr. Alejandra Mercado for conveying the importance of growing together and
helping out each other so as to form a strong cluster that would benefit not
only the students but also program and the University of Maryland.
“Graduates should support each other to
grow as professionals.” – Dr. Alejandra Mercado.
The event was successful in bridging the gap between
the juniors and seniors in many ways and allowing the first-year students to connect
with their peers.
Here are a few glimpses of the event:
