Toppel Internship Program

Internships are a key part of career development for many professionals. If you’re planning on being an intern this summer or fall, you can register for the Toppel Internship Program (TIP) to receive academic credit for your internship!

Through the TIP program, you will create a strategy to learn the most possible from your internship, track your progress as a developing professional, and learn how to evaluate an employer’s ability to meet your needs as an employee.

Alison Sanchez

Assistant Director, Business Industry

I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration, with a Minor in Dance from the University of Florida in December 2014. While at UF, I served on the executive board of three major Center for Leadership Programs. As the Events Coordinator for the Business Undergraduate Mentorship Program (BUMP), I matched over 100 incoming freshman mentees with seasoned upper-class mentors for academic and professional advice while organizing social events on campus that would introduce students to the many diverse opportunities the university had to offer. If I could go back in time, my advice to myself while in college is to take risks and never sell yourself short, let your awesomeness shine! I would also encourage all my friends to find a supportive mentor to lean on when it comes to making tough decisions.
