Through the CiPASS STEM Summer Internship Program, students from CCNY, LaGCC and BMCC have the opportunity to perform authentic research alongside faculty mentors, in startups at the CCNY Maker Space and with CiPASS industry partners. This paid internship program also provides professional development opportunities, designed in collaboration with the Career & Professional Development Institute. At the end of the summer, students present their work at a symposium together with fellow interns from other CCNY programs.
