Brett Axner '11
(Franklin Award Recipient)
Major: Business Administration
Internship: Sokolin Wine Merchants, Bridgehampton, NY
The Magellan Project and the Franklin Internship Award provided me with a tremendous opportunity. I was able to participate in an internship with Sokolin Wine Merchants. I cannot put a price on the experiences I had, the things I learned, and the connections I made. Researching fabulous wines and generating purchase orders were just a couple of my daily assignments. Any W&J student who does not take advantage of the Magellan Project is missing out. The possibilities are endless!
Want to spend the summer with the National Park Services, conducting research in a leading lab, interning in Europe, or the World Wildlife Federation (for example) but don't have the money to entirely fund your internship?
