Leadership and Employment Opportunities

Through our leadership and employment experiences, you can gain valuable skills for your future career or graduate studies. We offer internships for graduate students and several positions for undergraduate students. Our graduate interns teach, perform academic coaching, and do administrative work. Undergraduate students serve as tutors, Supplemental Instruction leaders, and/or learning ambassadors. We also offer opportunities for students to become undergraduate associates to assist instructors in the classroom.

Enrichment

Our enrichment programs help you connect with the resources you need to excel academically and complete your degrees. It can be challenging to navigate the complex institutional structure here at Miami, but as a Scholastic Enhancement Program (SEP) student or Access Fellow, you have a built-in support network to make the process easier. We're eager to work with you to help you achieve academic success.
