Dear interns,

Your Class Three Activities and Assignments have been posted on our OpenLab Class Site as were your Class Four Activities and Assignments.

Class Four activities center on registering and attending your first networking event and then blogging about it. I suggest upcoming Networking events in Class Four. and you all should join the Professional Development Center (PDC) – Career Services on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 12:00 – 2:30 PM in L114 for its Get to Know PDC event. Meet the PDC team, screen a movie, activate your career services account, get internship and career tips. Register for this on Handshake. This does count as a networking event for this but your second Networking Event must be with an off-campus organization.

I am copying and pasting below the Activities you were to do for Week Three. Many of you are still working on revising resumes and your portfolio and are sending applications out for jobs. The activities below will help you become more familiar with career resources here at City Tech, at CUNY , with the New York Public Library and in Brooklyn. The PDC here on campus can help you prepare for interviews and review resumes.
