STEM Events and Opportunities 9-9-26

Dear Students,

Welcome back! I hope you are all excited for the new school year. For those of you who participated in internships over the summer, I look forward to hearing all about them! This year, the Loeb will be hosting some new and exciting programs and workshops that I hope you will all take advantage of.

Today, we will be hosting an Open House (3-5pm) at the Loeb and I encourage new students to come by to meet with me and our other team members. My colleagues and I will also be hosting a number of events in the next few weeks that focus on careers in each of our specialty areas. I will be leading a workshop on Tuesday the 15^th exploring the topic, “Data and Tech: Where the will the jobs be?”. I’ll be hosting workshops on a variety of other topics and fields throughout the semester, so please keep an eye out.

If you are considering data and big tech focused internships and roles in industry, please be aware some companies are already recruiting! If you are interested in these types of roles, I HIGHLY recommend looking at this page for internships and this one for new grad opportunities.

I will be continuing my regular advising schedule with both scheduled one-on-one meetings and drop in hours throughout the academic year. Meetings with me and my other Loeb colleagues can be requested via Handshake. I will have appointments in the Loeb Center available for request on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. In addition, starting on Tuesday, I will be holding my drop-in hours at the Science Center Living Room on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-4pm.

We are here for you and can’t wait to help you explore the next steps of your career journeys!

Best,

Carolyn (Margolin) Estes

Program Data Coordinator at Compass Pro Bono

Job description

Position Title: Program Data Coordinator

Minimum Education/Experience: Bachelor’s degree or 3–4 years of relevant work experience. Experience with Salesforce or similar CRMs, Excel/Google Sheets, data management, customer engagement platforms, survey administration, and/or nonprofit program operations is a plus.

Compass Overview: Compass Pro Bono forges lasting ties between local nonprofits and local business professionals to empower thriving, equitable, resilient communities. Compass Pro Bono believes that thriving, equitable, resilient communities are ones in which the local business and local nonprofit sectors are deeply interconnected. We believe that local nonprofits play a critical role in community well-being, and that local business professionals can play a critical role in local nonprofits’ success. We envision a world in which nonprofits consistently have access within their own communities to the business strategy resources they need to thrive, and in which business professionals are empowered to seamlessly leverage their business acumen to sustain the nonprofits serving their communities.

Position Overview: Do you enjoy building data systems that produce information that is clean, clear, and easy for people to use? Do you like digging into data, spotting inconsistencies, and turning messy information into something accurate and useful? Would you thrive as part of the behind-the-scenes engine that helps a mission-driven organization deliver high-quality programs across multiple cities? Are you technologically confident, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning new platforms? Do you enjoy using data to help teams make better decisions? Are you a customer-service-minded problem solver who can support colleagues, volunteers, and nonprofit partners with patience and accuracy? Do you want to work with a fantastic team? If you’re shouting “YES!”, then this is the position for you!

Your mission: Be the data management and reporting engine that helps Compass Pro Bono collect, understand, improve, and maintain program data so we can deliver consistently high-quality programs and communicate their impact across all regions.

This role is part Salesforce and Google Sheets power user, part data cleaner, part Salesforce dashboard builder, part volunteer and nonprofit engagement platform administrator, part survey coordinator, and part program operations support.

To be successful in this role, you must be eager to improve the accuracy, usability, and visibility of program data; comfortable troubleshooting systems and user issues; able to balance recurring data tasks with urgent internal requests; interested in using reports, dashboards, surveys, and impact materials to help staff make stronger program decisions; and at ease in a fast-paced, business tech-saturated work environment.

The position may be based in any of the metro regions Compass currently serves: Washington, DC; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; Philadelphia, PA; New York, NY; or Chicago, IL. If in DC, the Program Data Coordinator will work at least 2–3 days per week in person from the Compass Pro Bono headquarters in DC, and work the rest of the time remotely. If in one of the other regions, the Program Data Coordinator will primarily work remotely with occasional in-person meetings with other staff and events in their region, and will be expected to travel to DC at least twice/year for all-hands retreats.

The Program Data Coordinator will report to Compass Pro Bono’s Program Data Manager and work closely with the Program Operations team and program staff across all Compass Pro Bono regions.

Collaborative and communicative, works well with colleagues across departments and cities and can translate data or systems issues into clear next steps
Adaptable and eager to learn, comfortable shifting between Salesforce work, portal administration, survey support, reporting, and impact data projects in a fast-paced environment
Mission- and quality-minded, understands that accurate program data strengthens Compass Pro Bono’s ability to serve nonprofits, support volunteers, and communicate impact

Compensation

$45,000 salary + full benefits. Compass Pro Bono’s current benefits include: schedule flexibility; a generous paid leave package that includes flexible PTO, several mental health days and at least one week/year during which the entire organization closes so that all employees can enjoy a true mental health break; medical, dental and vision benefits; a 401K plan with a 1% employer contribution; and employer-funded short- and long-term disability insurance.

As a key member of the national team, the intern will support CPB’s Director of AI and Thought Leadership in turning CPB into a truly AI-native and automation-forward organization.
While the intern’s specific responsibilities will be determined throughout the internship—as we want to ensure the projects are strategically meaningful both for the intern’s professional development and for the organization’s evolution—possible areas of focus include:
Assessing opportunities to streamline workflows across CPB departments and teams
Scoping and testing new features of existing AI/automation platforms for full-team rollout
Scoping and testing new AI/automation platforms for full-team rollout
Creating custom workflows/micro-apps for CPB staff using AI/automation tools
Drafting an internal AI and automation strategy for the next 12-24 months

We expect that the intern will emerge from their experience having created several key resources (research syntheses, new AI tools, etc.) that will inform our evolving strategy for impact. It’s important to us that the intern walk away with deliverables that demonstrate their skills to future potential employers and graduate schools, so we will work with them throughout the internship to identify these opportunities.Please email jobs@compassprobono.org by 12pm ET on September 19th with the following materials:
