Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion (CSDI) received a grant in September 2020 from Cleveland Fenn Foundation. Our goal is to provide students with professional development opportunities through career-related workshops, micro-internships, and career exploration.

The Wayfinders program focuses on students who identify as:

  • First-generation
  • Coming from a low-socioeconomic background
  • Students with disabilities/neurodivergent (visible or invisible) 
  • Students of color (BIPOC)
  • LGBTQ+ students  

Our programs expand to 1:1 career help, resource closets, and networking opportunities for our students.

What is a Micro-Internship?

Micro-internships are short-term, remote, or in-person experiences. Students can connect with professionals in their desired field to develop new knowledge and skills related to a career field of interest.  

For students, this is a chance to explore a particular industry or career while gaining practical skills and developing their network. These are short-term, remote, and more flexible opportunities to gain experience than a traditional internship.  

Some Example Projects:

  • Marketing and Website Specialist
  • Social Media Intern
  • Digital Media Intern
  • Client Outreach Intern
  • Data Collection & Review
  • Accounting Intern

We have partnered with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Metanoia Project, Medwish International, RTW Xxact, The D.A.L.E Program, ASIA Inc., CODE3, LGBT Community Center, and more!
