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.
