Sophomore Summit

We love sophomores so much that we built a whole program just for you.

Amherst College Sophomore Summit

Sophomore year is full of possibility. It is a year of big decisions, and prime time for skill development, considering new ideas and directions, and building stronger relationships across and beyond the campus. That’s why we designed an annual three-day intensive to meet you where you are at this time in your life and help you plan your next steps.

You will walk away with:

  • Guaranteed new connections with alumni who want to support your career exploration
  • The confidence, strategy, and tools you need to tackle your summer internship search
  • A professional headshot photo for your LinkedIn profile
