Why You Should Hire a Drew Intern or an Alum

On campus, our small class sizes, demanding coursework, purpose-driven mentor networks, and dynamic student organizations and athletics shape Drew students to be active thinkers, contributors and leaders.

As a degree requirement, every Drew student completes at least two immersive experiences such as internships, research, global study, or community service.  Many students attain first-hand knowledge of professional worlds—from finance to theater to media—through our signature New York City semesters.

That all adds up to graduates who bring to your organization:

• Demonstrated leadership ability
• Technical expertise
• Innovation and creativity
• Focused approach to career development
• Strong oral and written communication skills
• Strong investigation and research skills
• Exposure to global issues and solutions
• Ability to gather and evaluate data
• Teamwork skills

Staff of our career center know our students well and can identify candidates suited to your organization.
