Navigating Unexpected Changes to Your Summer Plans? We’re Here for You.

We know that many members of our community, especially international students, are facing unexpected changes to their summer plans.

We understand that managing these last-minute changes can feel overwhelming, especially as the semester winds down. But we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.

At the Career Center, we can support you in:

  • Exploring alternative opportunities such as remote internships, research assistant roles, or short-term projects.
  • Identifying skill-building options like virtual courses, certifications, or volunteer work that align with your interests and career goals.
  • Reframing your experiences so you can tell your story confidently — even when plans don’t go as expected.
  • Connecting with alumni who can share advice and insight into navigating career paths during uncertain times.

Whether you’re looking to rework your summer strategy or simply need a space to talk things through, we’re here for you.

Your summer can still be meaningful — and you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’ve got your back!
