"While there, I designed five experiments to test my hypothesis that a low dose of radiation could be used in combination with cetuximab, a chemotherapy drug, against chordoma, a cancer of the bones of the skull and spine, with greater efficacy than if given alone. The results of the experiments were published in an academic paper."
Jake Griner
"It was an extremely unique opportunity that allowed me to gain field and data collection experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get their foot in the door with shark research. I cannot encourage students enough to take advantage of experience-based internships; there's truly nothing else like it!"
Molly Kennedy
"The rigorous academic environment and real-world experiences I've gained at FSC prepared me for this competitive opportunity. I'm excited to apply what I've learned in the classroom at Goldman Sachs. Being a Florida Southern student allowed me to develop analytical skills and a strong work ethic to help me in my career."
Jessica Valdes
"After summer positions with the Naples Zoo and Auto-Owners Insurance, I was offered an internship with JPMorgan Chase. These opportunities wouldn't have been possible without the guidance and support of the faculty at FSC. Their advice and mentorship provided the foundation for my career path, something I deeply value."
