Entrepreneurial Fellow
“The most surprising thing I’ve learned has been just how much work goes into making a web application. As a computer science major, the Fellowship has given me a new appreciation of my field of study.” – –William Czubakowski ’17
Externships
“I chose an externship out of my comfort zone, but one that I still had an interest in learning about. This experience taught me a plethora of strategies that brand managers, social media specialists, influencer marketing specialists, and others use to effectively represent the KIND business and products.” – –Raven Waters ’19
Career Immersion Trip
“The most valuable aspect of the trip was meeting with the leaders who run the different operations we were touring. Learning how they manage their brands really reaffirmed my interest in the advertising and marketing industry.” – –Mike Gaza ’16
The Start-Up Experience
“One of the biggest things for me early on was signing up for a weekend-long workshop on entrepreneurship at Gettysburg. I saw a poster for the Start-Up Experience. It was a ton of work, but I really enjoyed it because I was working for myself.” – –Noah Pompan ’18
