Virtual Immersions & Experiential Work (VIEW)

Share your professional expertise and gain project-based support for your team by hosting a student for a short-term, virtual micro-internship.

• How it Works: Alumni and project sponsors submit part-time projects (typically 50–60 hours) across fields like research, social media, data analysis, writing, etc.
• Get Started: Have a project in mind or want to learn about upcoming cycles? Reach out to careercenter@georgetown.edu to learn more about sample projects and timelines.

Ensure every student can participate in experiential learning, regardless of their financial circumstances.

• How it Works: Your financial contributions directly fund $500 student stipends for micro-internships hosted by non-profits, small businesses, or alumni sponsors who do not have dedicated internship budgets. Every $500 gift fully funds one Hoya’s micro-internship experience.

“After having hosted dozens of interns throughout the lifetime of this company, we can confidently say that the VIEW program is one of the most organized, best focused, and most thought-through programs we’ve ever seen. We’ve worked with schools like UVA, VA Tech, GMU, William & Mary, along with younger students through Fairfax County Public Schools and the local Catholic School Diocese. Georgetown’s VIEW program met the virtual demands of COVID and the necessity for students to acquire new learning experiences in a clearly defined and practical way. As a Georgetown alum, and having had a fantastic experience with my own education, it is no surprise to me that this program is this good. I hope that VIEW will become a regular opportunity for students going forward because a truncated and virtual mentorship is a useful addition to undergraduate work and good use of available resources.”

“We appreciate Georgetown University’s commitment to experiential learning through the VIEW program. Providing students with meaningful, paid opportunities to apply their skills while supporting local organizations is an outstanding model…We look forward to participating again and continuing to mentor Georgetown students in the future.”

Student Reflections

Georgetown University students from various academic backgrounds and career interests participated in projects from alumni and friends of Georgetown. Check out what some of our student participants had to say about the VIEW program.

“The VIEW program is more than what I could’ve ever expected out of a 6-week micro-internship. It shows the power of the Georgetown network and the willingness of Hoyas to elevate one another. It further solidified my interest in law, and I acquired meaningful advice and skills throughout the process.”

“I’m really happy Georgetown offered this experience because I think it’s a great way to build professional experience and work on communication in an ‘office’ setting.”

— SFS Student, Class of 2023

“I am so grateful for the VIEW experience! It has been a really valuable opportunity for me to get experience within an industry I might not have had access to otherwise…my sponsor and direct project supervisor have been incredible mentors and teachers to me. Over the past month I have been able to strengthen skills I already had as well as gain insight into how the company and the industry work as a whole.”

“I have never been in an internship position before where I spent this much time doing actual meaningful work, making this such a valuable experience overall!”
