>>>>>Dear College and University Colleagues:
>>>>>
>>>>>The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center would like to notify you
>>>>>about a special program we will be offering this summer, and
>>>>>encourage your institution to help us inform students about this
>>>>>opportunity. The MLSC is pleased to announce the launch of the Life
>>>>>Sciences Internship Challenge, a new program aiming to connect
>>>>>Massachusetts students with life sciences companies and research
>>>>>institutions across the state. Studies have shown the value and
>>>>>necessity of providing students with internships in the field of
>>>>>life sciences, and we hope that this opportunity to explore a career
>>>>>path will enhance the students' academic training.
>>>>>
>>>>>The MLSC will be collecting applications and resumes from eligible
>>>>>students and organizing them in an online database accessible
>>>>>through our website, www.masslifesciences.com. Companies and
>>>>>research institutions that agree to host interns for this summer
>>>>>will be granted access to review applications and be instructed to
>>>>>contact students directly for interviews. The duration of the
>>>>>internship will be two months, and a stipend will be provided to
>>>>>those interns.
>>>>>
>>>>>For students to be eligible, they must be enrolled in a four-year
>>>>>college or university in Massachusetts and have completed at least
>>>>>their junior year of study, or, have completed their Bachelor's
>>>>>Degree in the past year. For students enrolled in a community
>>>>>college, they must have completed their Associate's Degree,
>>>>>Certificate, or the equivalent of one year's course work related to
>>>>>the internship placement in the past year.
>>>>>
>>>>>For further details regarding this program, please review the
>>>>>attached description. If you have questions, please contact Ryan
>>>>>Mudawar at internship at masslifesciences.com or 617-721-5162.
>>>>>
>>>>>Thank you for taking the time to inform your students and help them
>>>>>take advantage of this opportunity. It is with your help that we can
>>>>>make this program a success.
>>>>>
>>>>>Sincerely,
>>>>>
