Having been with Career Services some 15 years, Claire's responsibilities have shifted and grown over that period. Claire is responsible for managing CSO's various internship programs: Winter Term, Ron Brown, Felton Family, and summer programs and managing the database that provides a plethora of internship opportunities.
