The Extern Program enables students to explore different career options by allowing a firsthand glimpse into a field of interest.

By shadowing professionals in their workplace, students can begin to explore their interests and learn about various opportunities. From two days to two weeks during Winter or Spring Break, externs observe and talk with alumni sponsors and their colleagues.

Extern Program: Informational Interviews Winter Break 2022

We are excited to launch this new, virtual program during winter break! These informational interviews will provide students with ways to make meaningful connections with our alumni community to learn about career paths, industries, and more.

How it Works

Members of the Haverford alumni community from various career fields have volunteered to host virtual informational interviews with current students during winter break.

• An informational interview will last up to 30 minutes and will be held via video conferencing technology, such as Zoom, or via phone.
• You will only need approximately 1 hour of your time over winter break to participate in an informational interview. This includes preparation and an informational interview which will last up to 30 minutes.

Timeline

Be on the lookout for an email the first week of December inviting you to participate!

• December 1: You will receive information on the alumni participants.
• December 12: Deadline to submit an online application with your top 3 choices of alumni for informational interviews.
• December 17: You will be notified if paired with an alum.

Once provided the contact information for your paired alum, email them to schedule and mutually agree on a day/time for an informational interview between January 3 and 17, 2022.
