At LEAP, over 200 Mount Holyoke students present about their internships and research experiences. You will hear from future policy makers, activists, entrepreneurs, data scientists, teachers, researchers, and market analysts. Most will tell stories of unmitigated success and transformative learning. Others will share details of unexpected challenges they faced, and how they were required to shift and adapt in response. Students worked in 42 countries in every imaginable field. They will discuss important issues of social justice, relate how they met challenges of communication and expression in new contexts, and talk about how to find and succeed in summer internships.

LEAP is designed to give students who aspire to undertake internships and summer research the opportunity to learn from their peers. It is also for the whole Mount Holyoke community where family, friends, faculty, staff and our alumnae come together to celebrate the work and contributions of the presenters.

We are hugely impressed by students in College 211 and inspired by their individual success and collective learning. Their work in bringing the LEAP Symposium to fruition was exceptional. We thank the faculty, staff, alumnae, donors, and internship and research providers whose contributions have make this event possible.

How does social media play a role in the modern workplace? How does the usage of social media connect seemingly unrelated internships and industries? Our panel explores the fairly new implementation of social media in the workplace and the importance of social media platforms to spread awareness, gain public support, and attract interest. While social media did not play the largest role in our internships, it was interwoven in our daily activities and played an integral role in the completion of projects. Whether you work in finance or fashion, social media is increasingly becoming a coveted skill for employment opportunities. What skills do you already possess that can be utilized for social media in the workplace? Join us to find out.
