Summer Programs-Student Life Intern (Project Management)

The Choate Rosemary Hall Student Life Internship Program offers college students a rewarding opportunity to work in an intellectually stimulating and supportive academic community. Interns collaborate daily with faculty and staff who oversee Choate Summer Programs, gaining experience as members of either the Summer Programs Office or Student Activities Center (SAC). In addition, they work closely with Choate Summer Programs participants as residential advisers, coaches, and chaperones. Student Life Interns participate in weekly professional development sessions and have the opportunity to take on additional projects aligned with their respective interests and skills. Previous projects have spanned topics such as program finance, institutional research, and community outreach. The internship program is particularly beneficial to applicants who are interested in learning what its like to live and work in an independent boarding school community.
