SBS in DC goes Virtual | UMass College of Social and Behavioral Sciences

SBS in DC is an exciting summer internship program that connects UMass Amherst College of Social & Behavioral Science majors with UMass alumni working in Washington DC.

Usually, program participants are matched with host internship sites for a 10-week summer internship, participate in a hybrid online/face to face class, and have the opportunity to network with UMass Alumni who are working in the area, and live together as a cohort in DC.

However, with the COVID-19 restrictions in place, the SBS in DC 2020 cohort has been experiencing all these elements of the program - VIRTUALLY - for the very first time! Hear from them about this unique experience, lessons learned, and the impact of scholarships and donor support in these challenging times.
