What are some of the benefits of an internship? What will I learn? How do I prepare? And most importantly, where can I find one? Join a panel of computer science students who can tell you about their recent internship experiences: what they wish they had known before, how it has affected the way they look at job opportunities, and what skills they learned. You will also have the opportunity to hear about UMBC’s Handshake program and USG’s career connector and how they can help you reach your career goals.
