Internships

The Campus Entrepreneurs Initiative (CEI) provides a paid internship as well as funding and training for eight undergraduate students seeking to enrich our campus with programming of their own design in the coming academic year. CEI will be awarding eight paid internships in addition to a $500 programming grant for each position. These internships will require both excellent organizational and social skills, as well as strong drive on the part of the interns to bring their initiatives to fruition. The internship will also include trips abroad, a fall training seminar in California, and weekly mentoring and leadership development sessions with high level educators and professionals.
In bringing together high-performance and innovation, CEI inspires a wide-range of students to create the Jewish future. CEI strives to reward student ingenuity and enable further success. CEI encourages creativity, risk-taking, and the creation of real social value in building for a better future. In recognizing an inherent balance between the universally human and the distinctively Jewish nature of today’s college students –CEI seeks to reach more students on the basis of their interests, passions, and aspirations.

The greatest asset on university campuses is student ingenuity. If ever there were a generation capable of reengineering and significantly altering the future, it is on campus today. With a combination of education, opportunity, and talent – today’s college students have the potential to dramatically impact the future landscape of Jewish life and the world at large.
