Info Session: Humanities Summer Professional Opportunities

Are you looking for paid summer opportunities to explore career possibilities and put your humanities skills into practice? Join this info session to learn about two new summer programs offered by the Humanities Division in Summer 2026:

• Summer Humanities EXCEL: Los Angeles offers 10-week project-based internships across Los Angeles County. Participants will enroll in a tuition-free 10-unit course and receive a $4,000 scholarship.

• HumLaunch is a mentorship program offering job shadowing and short-term project placements with UCSC Humanities alumni ranging from 1 day to 3 weeks and available in locations around California and online. Participants will receive a scholarship of $100 per day.

Both programs are open only to students with a major or minor in the Humanities Division and who are continuing through Fall 2026.

We’re offering two info sessions where you’ll learn how the programs work, what opportunities are available, and how to apply. We’ll share tips for a successful application and answer your questions. Attend whichever session suits your schedule!

Session 1: Friday 4/17, 10-11am. Register for 4/17 here.

Session 2: Thursday 4/23, 2-3pm. Register for 4/23 here.
