Funded Projects

The Office of Career Planning & Professional Development has been awarded funding for several large-scale projects. Below is information about the largest of those projects.

Altfest Internship Program (since 2016)

The Office of Career Planning & Professional Development oversees the Altfest Graduate Internship Program, which funds graduate student professional development in the form of paid summer internships. Internships provide $4,000 for a minimum of 120 total work hours. Since 2018, the program has allowed students to create their own internship opportunities and then apply to the Altfest Graduate Internship Program for funding.

The Altfest Graduate Internship Program is generously funded by Drs. Karen C. and Lewis J. Altfest, alumni of the Graduate Center.

Planning activities at the GC encompassed three planning themes: curriculum, data, and partnerships. During the course of the grant, our planning committees met regularly to discuss desired changes for the Graduate Center and the implementation of those changes. The project culminated in the development of a white paper and a full-day career conference titled Post (Grad) Center: Engaging Publics with a PhD, which was hosted at the Graduate Center on May 4, 2017.
