Hire Hopkins | July 2023

A Message From Our Director

Dear reader, 

I’ll keep this note short, as the majority of your time in this newsletter should be spent perusing all the good Fall recruiting options we have below! That being said, while I’ve got your attention, I’d love to show you what our students are asking from employers.

In a recent NYTimes article about summer internships, one of the biggest frustrations from students was a lack of response or closure from employers after all of their efforts in applying. Our students seem to echo that sentiment and wrote “Dear Hiring Managers, Please Reject Us.” I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

We’ve got a plethora of opportunities for your organization to recruit this Fall and we’ve compiled most of them below. Pay attention to the deadlines and let us know if you have any questions.

Warmly,

Alia Poonawala
