<p>I’m not sure how much Wellesley was involved, but a friend of my daughter’s had a choice between spending her summer at a publishing internship and working for her state senator (?? not sure exactly who it was) after her first year at Wellesley.</p>
<p>My daughter (also just finished her first year), who is a science major, is working this summer with a professor and getting paid to do that. – the Science Center has a summer research program to which students can apply.</p>
