Dedham Students Successfully Complete Internships at URI

Two Dedham students recently completed summer internships as part of their studies at the University of Rhode Island.

In an internship, URI students have the opportunity to apply theory to practice in the field, and then return to the classroom ready to apply practice to theory. URI’s experiential learning coordinators partner with faculty to design internships with structured learning outcomes that will provide students with a competitive advantage when they graduate.

Victoria Dougherty, of Dedham, interned with Worcester County District Attorney’s Office.

Matthew Stapleton, of Dedham, interned with EMC Corporation.

The University of Rhode Island’s pioneering research extends the University’s influence well beyond its coastal borders, while its unique interdisciplinary courses provide its 16,637 undergraduate and graduate students with global opportunities in an intimate environment.
