From Amazon to BCG – Ross MBAs Talk About Their Summer Internships

Ross School of Business: “As a part of their Summer Business Experience, a curricular requirement for all rising second-year Full-Time MBAs, students must complete an internship or similar project over the summer to gain real-world experience. For six to 12 weeks, they tackle real projects at companies like Apple, Boston Consulting Group, Amazon, and many others. These Summer Business Experiences are a valuable part of the MBA journey that allow students to test new career paths, roles, and industries while gaining the experience that employers value.

In addition to internships, students also gain real-world experience in their fields of interest through Multidisciplinary Action Projects and receive ongoing support through a variety of Career Development Office resources.

To learn more about some of the internships that Full-Time MBA students held this summer, we asked five current MBAs to tell us about their experiences and what they learned on the job.

$15-Million Gift Will Fund Notre Dame Mendoza Veteran Students

Mendoza College of Business: “The University of Notre Dame is further strengthening its long-standing and deeply rooted commitment to supporting active-duty service members and veterans with the launch of the Angrick Military Scholars Program. Beginning in August 2026, the program will offer support for military-affiliated students entering the full-time Notre Dame MBA program.

Funded by a generous $15 million gift from Notre Dame alumnus Bill Angrick and his wife, Stephanie, the program will be housed within the Mendoza College of Business. It will provide funds for up to 10 Angrick Military Scholars in each cohort.

The University, which has had a strong and valued relationship with the U.S. military for generations, is home to one of the nation’s largest ROTC programs outside of service academies and military colleges. In 2017, Notre Dame established the Office of Military and Veterans Affairs to expand its support for University-enrolled veterans and their families, active-duty and ROTC students and those who are dependents of service members.

“We are deeply grateful to the Angrick family for their generosity, vision and commitment to Notre Dame’s distinctive mission as a force for good,” said Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., president of the University. “By expanding access to a Notre Dame education for military-affiliated students, we honor the extraordinary sacrifice of these students and their families and prepare them to be exceptional leaders in their chosen fields. At the same time, our campus community is immeasurably enriched by their presence and by their example of dedication to our nation and to the common good.”

Washington Olin Research: Entrepreneurial Traits Can Boost Career Trajectory

Olin Business School: “Entrepreneurial employees are the ones who challenge the status quo, observe with fresh eyes, connect across silos and experiment with new ideas within their organizations. These behaviors are a key driver of corporate entrepreneurship — the engine that keeps established organizations innovative and competitive. Not surprisingly, many organizations have created programs to encourage employees to act entrepreneurially. But what tangible benefits do entrepreneurial employees receive in return for their efforts?

Two recent complementary studies, led by Alyssa Liang, a visiting assistant professor of organizational behavior at Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, examine how and when entrepreneurial behaviors lead to promotions and higher compensation.

The findings, published in Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, offer practical insights for upwardly mobile employees, human resources managers and executives seeking to foster entrepreneurial spirit within their organizations.”
