What Employers Are Saying
JIM PAUL, Director, U.S. Commercial Service, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, International Trade, Boston, MA
“The [Tufts intern] was one of our Boston office’s top International Trade Interns during the past 10 years. She continuously proved her leadership skills to our clients, partners and colleagues worldwide. Tufts students have been prompt, held diligent work ethics, been enthusiastic with their assignments and come eager to work. They routinely take the initiative to conduct outstanding global market research and professionally present their findings to our clients, partners and stakeholders overseas. Their excellent cross-cultural awareness has been a key asset during meetings and at international trade events.”
DYIANA SNEAD, HR Assistant, Havas Health & You, New York City, NY
“The intern worked to collaborate with members of cross-functional teams and different Havas Health & YOU advertising agencies in order to gain hands-on experience in the Account Management department. She was a great team player and always found ways to get involved. She even hosted a yoga session for our interns! The student left a great impression, and it would be wonderful to have more strong intern candidates from Tufts.”
