 Massachusetts Life Sciences Center Internship Challenge

The Life Sciences Internship Challenge is a workforce development program focused on enhancing the talent pipeline for life sciences companies in Massachusetts.

The program will provide and fund internships for an estimated 300 college students and recent graduates who are considering career opportunities in the life sciences. Host companies will commit to providing a dedicated mentor and meaningful internship opportunity that relates to the academic focus of eligible students. Studies have shown the value and necessity of providing students with internships, and we hope that this opportunity to explore a career path will enhance the students' academic training.

 Pervious years of the Internship Challenge have been an extraordinary success. The Center has placed nearly 550 students in paid internships with over 200 companies across Massachusetts. The Center will continue to accept applications from eligible students via our website (link below). Companies that register with us to host interns are granted access to review applications and are instructed to contact students directly for interviews. The Center is offering to reimburse companies (with 100 or fewer employees) for intern stipends of up to $7,200 for students selected through the program.

Any student enrolled in a Massachusetts college or university is eligible to apply, provided that they meet the following eligibility requirements:

FAA Design Competition for Universities

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is continuing to offer a Design Competition for Universities for the 2011-2012 academic year and has added new design categories. The Competition challenges individual students or teams of students (undergraduates and graduates) from U.S. colleges and universities, working under the mentorship of a faculty advisor, to address challenges in four broad areas: Airport Operations and Maintenance, Runway Safety/Runway Incursions/Runway Excursions, Environmental Interactions of Airports, and Airport Management and Planning. Students must have a faculty advisor. Cash prizes are given to first, second and third place winners in each category. The first place winners will present their design solutions at the FAA/TSA/ACC Summer Workshop Series in Arlington, Virginia, July 18-19, 2012. They also present at another professional meeting relevant to their design proposal.

Competition guidelines and full details are available at: http://faadesigncompetition.odu.edu

Student and faculty participants in last year’s Competition overwhelmingly found participation in the Competition to be a valuable educational experience. Many cited the opportunity to interact with and confer with industry professionals and experts on solving a modern, real world dilemma to be a rewarding and purposeful experience Participants can engage in the Competition in many ways — for example as part of a design class, independent study, or a student professional society project.
