Sophomore Accelerator
Our career preparation course for second year students does more than help students obtain a meaningful internship. Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Career Advising Amy Donegan explains how the Eagle Expert Network—a platform of more than 300 Carroll School alumni—makes this program unique.
Providing Guidance: The Eagle Expert Network
Students taking the Sophomore Accelerator course hone their interpersonal skills through informational and mock interviews with alumni from the Eagle Expert Network—a group of successful Carroll School alumni who help students secure internships and foster professional relationships.
Eagle Experts provide invaluable mentorship, and through their knowledge students learn about the various industries and opportunities available after graduation.
