Testimonials
"Two years ago, I came to Duquesne University as part of the Minority Development Internship Program. The transition from working in a corporate environment to an educational institution was made easy by the support and encouragement that I received through Human Resources. The dedication and investment made by the department that I was trained in adequately prepared me to be able to interview and secure a position within the University. This program exceeded my expectations in what it was able to do to introduce, support, train, and develop interns in such a short period of time."
My story is not just a story for minorities, but it’s a story of many young people, like me, who just want to pursue happiness. Not only will you have challenges, but also opportunities to discover your talents. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The Minority Internship Development program is amazing. Their emphasis on personal development helped me with my phobia of public speaking, becoming more organized, and being more confident about working within the field of Information Technology. It led to my current position with the University. My mentor was with me every step of the way! I wish more people had the opportunity to access similar programs throughout the country."
"Without the minority professional development internship, I would not be where I am today. It provided an opportunity for me to gain a wide range of experience and deep knowledge base of higher education, which as helped me find my niche within the industry. I am forever grateful to this program and the access and opportunity it continues to create."
