Internship Opportunities
An summer internship can be a good addition to your resume. It can also be a chance to see whether you might like working in a certain field--for example, as an actuary.
Washington University Career Center
One of the best resources for finding internships is the Career Center. (Enter "internships" into their search tool.) The Career Center will also have information about campus visits by companies who are recruiting to find interns or employees.
