SPOTLIGHT:
 Last
summer, one of our student – Bryanna McDermott – had an amazing summer internship at a law firm in North Carolina. Here’s what she shared about her experience: “I transferred to GMU my sophomore year and quickly received help finding a career path.
I signed up to talk to a mentor in bioengineering, and met with a senior who told me about a job offer she received from USPTO. I also went to the fall career fair and spoke to a recruiter from USPTO. This lead to me participating in their externship program,
in which I learned about patent law and patent examining. During my junior year I was looking for internship opportunities again, and using handshake I applied to a patent analyst internship at a law firm in North Carolina. I had an amazing summer in Chapel
Hill, and still work for the law firm, NEO IP, part time during school. I look forward to pursuing a career in patent law, and could be back at Mason in a couple years for law school!”
Did you have an internship last summer and would like to tell us about it? Is your senior design group on the brink of making a global impact or you would like to share your lab experience here in the
newsletter? Please email a short summary, picture and fill out the attached release form and send to:
