President's Summer Internship / Mentoring Program

The President's Summer Internship / Mentoring Program is a strategic initiative sponsored by the President’s Office and the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action in collaboration with the urban community.

The goal of the Program is to foster the interest of under-represented minority students in pursuing health careers by providing summer employment, health career awareness, and mentoring opportunities to urban youth who are pursuing higher education.

The Program is open to under-represented minority students (Native American, African American, Hispanic/Latino American) from the Syracuse metropolitan area, who are pursuing higher education, specifically those already attending college as well as college bound high school seniors. Program participants will be offered paid, on-the-job experience for the summer and an opportunity for mentoring and exploration of health career options while immersed in the Upstate Medical University environment. Please note, housing is not provided for this program.
