SUMMER INTERNSHIPS IN THE CITY

"All in all, it has really been a dream come true to be living and working in New York...there is always something new to do and discover. This experience and my job have absolutely renewed my passion for theater. I truly feel prepared to pursue a career in the city in the future, and this summer has given me the confidence to do it." ~ Chelsea Rudisill '09 interned at MCC Theater

"...the [Duke in NY] course was integral in helping me acclimate to the city. I could ask questions about subway routes, and the do's and don'ts of the city without getting awkward stares by unfriendly New Yorkers...the Duke in New York program accomplished exactly what it promised: a chance to experience The City." ~ Corina Chang '09 interned at the Weinstein Company

"My internship has exceeded my expectations in that I have been lucky to work on projects that capture my interest, I had wonderful supervisors, and this particular corporate environment is a friendly one. Although usually a paradox, I angaged in fun, interesting, and intellectually stimluating work as an intern. I was treated with respect and my ideas were listened to and implemented." ~ Heather Collins '08, interned at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc

"One of the main reasons I chose to partake in the Duke in New York program was because I was attracted to the internship component it offered." ~ Ally Fields '09 interned at Madison Square Garden

"This fall semester in New York was definitely the most eventful, activity-filled semester. The city was the campus, and the people from various sectors of work I have had opportunities to meet and listen to were the real-life mentors who inspired me in so many different ways with their real-life stories. In addition to the deep appreciation towards arts and my newfound passions towards theater, one of the most fruitful experiences Duke in New York program has given me is my first step into the world of fashion..." ~Ellene Ko '09 interned at Cynthia Steffe
