Showing up to work didn&#8217;t even feel like work, more like a passion. I was able to learn numerous things about sports broadcasting and helped me to connect with professionals in the sports industry. I&#8217;m very excited to continue being in the program in 2024.\u201d (Anonymous, Sophomore)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;\u201cMy experience participating in TheDream.US Internship Funding Program was amazing! It is very rare to come across a paid internship opportunity, especially if you are undocumented. <strong>However, thanks to this funding program, I was able to better engage in the internship that was not only aligned with my major but also with a career aspiration of mine.<\/strong> Words cannot describe how thankful I am for this funding program and how much it has helped me relieve my financial burden.\u201d (Anonymous, Senior)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;TheDream.US Internship Funding Program has had a profoundly positive impact on my academic and professional journey at Queens College. <strong>The funding allowed me to fully engage with my internship without the financial stress of balancing additional work, enabling me to focus on developing skills crucial for my career goals.<\/strong> Through this program, I gained practical experience in communication, event coordination, and community outreach, which have enriched my understanding of how to apply my English major to real-world contexts. (Anonymous, Senior).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I am now working on a project that I feel excited to complete and will be coming out of it learning about the big picture of software development.
