<p>[Princeton</a> University - Princeternship program connects students to careers through alumni](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S33/34/61G52/index.xml?section=featured]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S33/34/61G52/index.xml?section=featured)</p>
<p>From working at an auction house to meeting government leaders, Princeton University undergraduates participating in the Office of Career Services’ Princeternship program explore potential careers by getting an inside look at the jobs of alumni.</p>
<p>Since the program began in 2008, more than 200 students have spent one to three days during their academic breaks at alumni workplaces across the country, with 34 students most recently participating during spring break, March 17-25.</p>
<p>The program enables undergraduate students to make professional connections and explore a range of industries, including architecture, arts, business, communications, engineering, health care, nonprofits, technology and more. The alumni hosts expose students to a “day in the life” of their profession by arranging for students to participate in board, client or patient meetings, office tours, seminars, case studies and projects. . . .
