Purposeful Internships

Leslie Rios ’20, Political Science major
Rios arrived at St. Edward’s interested in politics and pursued a range of classes to find the ones that inspired her, including Comparative Politics, The American Court System and Political Theory. She didn’t want to miss a thing, so she immediately joined an array of student organizations, including student government and the Latino Student Leaders Organization. She worked on a major research project on border policy with one of her professors. Rios interned for the Office of the Attorney General and the Texas House of Representatives. As part of a recent Service Break Experience to Peru, she ditched technology and spent time reflecting on her years at St. Edward’s and where she wants to go next.

Meaningful Connections

Joseph Ramirez ’19, Biology major
Ramirez came to St. Edward’s intending to go to med school — but quickly realized he wanted to pursue something with business. Through the School of Natural Sciences, Ramirez started working at Capital Factory, an Austin-based accelerator for tech startups. He also completed biomedical research with one of his professors. He says he learned that the approach of asking Why are we doing it this way? Why are we using this material? applies just as much to data analytics as it does to science. In addition, Ramirez interned for the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and Cortez.
