Internships

Intern to on-air

Television meteorologist Lauryn Ricketts '05, an environmental studies major, held three internships during her years at Randolph-Macon College, on Capitol Hill and in television studios in Richmond and in Washington, DC. The last of these internships turned into a job at Fox 5 television in the metro Washington market. Speaking of the opportunities she was able to take advantage of as an undergraduate, Lauryn says, "I would not be where I am today without R-MC." Read more about Lauryn Ricketts's R-MC experience

Since 1982, the Randolph-Macon College internships program has been placing students in internships both in the U.S. and around the globe.

Coordinated with the Center for Personal and Career Development, our program works closely with students to help identify their interests and match them with an appropriate internship opportunity.

Students may choose to pursue academic and paid or volunteer internships in a wide variety of settings; recent internships have seen R-MC students gaining valuable knowledge and experience in fields including health care, finance, non-profit, communications and media, education, politics and law, and the arts.

R-MC's ideal location, close to both Richmond and Washington, DC, puts many different options for internships within an easy distance. Students may also have the opportunity to combine an internship with travel abroad; R-MC's internship program has placed students in internships in 18 countries around the world.

R-MC's internship program also benefits from the many engaged and dedicated alumni who welcome current students into their workplaces.
