The Art and Humanities Paid Internship Program was created in 2023 to address the gap in professional access for students from minoritized communities owing to systematic inequities within institutional spaces. The program assists Lehman College students with majors in the School of Arts and Humanities to secure paid internships while still at college. These paid internships will better prepare students for jobs upon graduation.

Students who sign up for the Arts & Humanities Paid Internship Program receive intensive year-round guidance on career planning and professional development. While majoring in subjects offered by nine different departments (Art, Africana Studies, English, History, Journalism and Media Studies, Languages and Literatures, Latin American and Latino Studies, Music, Multimedia, Theatre, and Dance, and Philosophy), students receive guidance on career preparations specific to their industries and majors.

The program at building long lasting impactful relationships with employers and organizations who partner with the School to offer internships and experiential learning engagements to our students. The guiding principle of the initiative is to create a holistic learning experience for the students such that off-campus internship engagement is tied to classroom discussions and growth. The program team works closely with faculty and employers to ensure three-way communication that creates a supportive and nurturing environment for our students.

The School of Arts and Humanities prides itself on having smart, hardworking, and talented students who want to put their education to use helping their communities. As a Hispanic Serving Institution in the Bronx, Lehman College has one of the most diverse student bodies in the country, and is ranked #4 in U.S. for social mobility. The Paid Internship Program in the School seeks to work with organizations and employers who value students who bring with them a rich variety of experiences, and who foreground affirmative and equitable initiatives in their hiring practices. Employers who partner with the School of Arts and Humanities can be assured of a meaningful experience which aids their organization’s cultural growth as well as benefitting our students.
