ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University undergraduates interested in turning classroom learning into high-impact career experience are invited to an informational meeting this Thursday, Sept. 17, at 5 p.m. in King Library’s AIS Room. Open to students of all majors, the session will showcase what it is like to work at one of the world's leading healthcare systems and detail how ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú prepares its talent cohort to stand out from day one.

Attendees will hear directly from ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú students who spent this past summer interning in Cleveland, gaining real insights into the workplace culture, hands-on projects, and mentorship opportunities that defined their experience.

At ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, securing a summer role at Cleveland Clinic involves more than a standard internship placement. Through the Office of ASPIRE, students participate in a comprehensive preparatory program featuring targeted professional development in the months leading up to their arrival on site. This intentional preparation ensures students build the confidence, skills, and peer connections needed to hit the ground running.

Tekeia Howard, who leads the talent cohort program, will share insights on upcoming opportunities for next summer and explain how ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú's holistic approach gives students a distinct advantage in the field.

“The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Difference is in how our students show up prepared, confident and ready to contribute from day one,” Howard said. “Cleveland Clinic shared that our Cohort I interns were exceptionally well prepared and stood out among interns across the organization. That recognition reflects the value of connecting academic learning with intentional professional preparation through ASPIRE.”

Healthcare is an enterprise with opportunities for students across disciplines. From analytics and communications to computing, government and engineering, all undergraduates are encouraged to bring their curiosity and questions and explore the many possibilities for their professional journey.
