Who do you want to be? What careers will you find most rewarding? How can you use your interests to make a difference? At Hamline, preparation for life after graduation is at the heart of your education. It’s why every student graduates with at least one internship on their resume.

Your professors are your biggest networking strategy. If you want to do something like shadowing at a lab, they know someone, or can find you someone who's graduated from Hamline, or someone that a coworker knows. They're great at setting you up with connections.
