Internships

Juliet Davidson ’23 is spending her summer as a reporter for The Hudson Independent, a newspaper that covers the Westchester, N.Y., “Rivertowns” of Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Scarborough-on-Hudson, Ardsley-on-Hudson, and Dobbs Ferry.

Along Genesee Street, just across Route 12 from Utica College, stands a stately, columned building marked by a lamppost sign that reads Oneida County History Center. It’s here where Joey Moore ’22 is spending the summer working as a funded Hamilton intern, a job, he said, that demands “a little bit of everything.”

Sometimes, the perfect opportunity requires a bit of perseverance to obtain. This was certainly the case for Ellie Silk ‘22, who landed an internship at New York’s Hirschl and Adler Galleries.

Lauren Hamilton ’22 didn’t need virtual assistant Alexa to help her find an internship this summer. Hamilton is spending her summer at a New Jersey Amazon facility working as a workplace health and safety intern, ensuring that employees are using equipment properly and observing COVID-19 regulations, while keeping an eye on the site’s working conditions in general.

Nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks lies Blue Mountain, a 3750’ peak just east of a picturesque lake that bears the same name. It is at this scenic location, in the quiet town of Indian Lake, that Andrea Shipton ’22 and Jane Taylor ’22 are spending their summers interning as a summit steward and interpretive assistant, respectively.
