Center for Careers & Internships

Don’t miss our Field Guide for Music Majors! Take this opportunity to hear how music alumni have applied their major and learning in a diverse array of careers. Alumni will be on campus to share their paths and professional lives with students in order to help them think broadly about music, and to demonstrate what possibilities exist for current music majors.

The History alumni panelists from Wednesday evening’s “A Field Guide for History Majors” will be available for informal one-on-one chats over coffee and donuts with students about their path from Middlebury to where they are today, how they have applied what they learned at Middlebury to help them build their careers, and how History students might pursue a similar path. A great opportunity to finish conversations started the night before, for those who missed the Wednesday evening panel, or just to network.

At Fidelity, we are focused on making our financial expertise broadly accessible and effective in helping people live the lives they want—from the 23 million people investing their life savings, to the 20,000 businesses managing their employee benefits programs, to the 10,000 advisors and institutions needing innovative technology solutions to invest their clients’ money. To do this well, as a privately held company, we place a high degree of value in nurturing a work environment that attracts the best talent and reflects our commitment to being an employer of choice.

The Stem Innovation Program is a creative and interdisciplinary program designed to challenge students to formulate and implement a solution to a scientific or technological problem. Each year, a team of students from a variety of departments and disciplines in science and mathematics designs and implements a technological solution to an important real-world problem. Their goal is to develop a deliverable product in 10 weeks through technological innovation, collaboration, and iteration.

Following a panel discussion with students who spent their summer in a social impact internship, there will be a unique opportunity for students to network with parents who have worked to advance the common good—planned or through happenstance—whether through careers in the public, nonprofit, business, or environmental sectors, serving on boards, or volunteering.

The Center for Careers & Internships and the Student Investment Committee are pleased to host a panel of parent professionals to discuss careers in finance for liberal arts majors and the power of the Middlebury alumni/parent networks. Students as well as parents who currently work in the field or who are curious about careers in finance for their Middlebury students are encouraged to attend.

At Middlebury, students don’t just learn how to engage the world—they go out and do it. At the Center for Careers & Internships, we make it a priority to prepare students for great internship and job opportunities so they can apply their knowledge to real-world challenges beyond the classroom. Our advisers and resources focus on all areas of career exploration, from STEM to not-for-profit to finance to education. Stop by and meet some of the great CCI staff to talk about how we can help students explore their paths to meaning ful work and invent their futures.

Come to an information session about the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. The talk will be given by Dr. Maggie Paik, P’19, and will include specifics about the University of Chicago as well as general information about what medical schools look for in their applicants and what makes for a strong medical school application.

This Center for Careers & Internships panel is a unique opportunity for students to network during Fall Family Weekend with parents who have worked to advance the common good—planned or through happenstance—whether through careers in the public, nonprofit, business, and environmental sectors, serving on boards or volunteering.
