From astronomy to international affairs, Career Services celebrates the accomplishments of Colgate students this academic year.

Morgan McMahon ’25 spent summer 2023 leading tours of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., and personally ushering legislation to the Senate floor.

Outside of the classroom, Colgate students work hard on their career preparation. Along with the University’s rigorous liberal arts education, Career Services’ four-year development plan offers students a framework with actionable steps to take during each undergraduate year. The staff at Career Services would like to recognize and celebrate student accomplishments this year.

This summer, Sophie Hart ’23 spent 10 weeks on Capitol Hill serving as a legislative intern for Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney.

Colgate Career Services celebrates students who have landed jobs, internships, or graduate school acceptances in a variety of industries and areas of study. Through a rigorous liberal arts education, a powerful alumni network, and committed academic and career support, students continue to excel throughout their undergraduate years and pursue successful careers after graduation.

I worked with my supervisor and other interns to create programming and contribute to various social justice projects.

This summer I had the privilege of working as a press intern for Senator Charles E. Schumer in Washington, D.C. Senator Schumer’s unique role as not only the senior Senator from New York, but also as the United States Senate Minority Leader, allowed me to gain exposure to both state-wide and national governance.

This summer, I had the opportunity to intern at the U.S. Department of State in Washington DC. I worked in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, in the Office of East Asia and the Pacific.

An internship with the Democracy program at the Carter Center gave me the unique chance to combine my interests in policy, disability rights, and international standards.
