Hume Seminar Series: MITRE Information Session

About the Event:

In this presentation, get a behind-the-scenes look at MITRE —who they are, what they do, and why your ideas and energy matter there. You’ll learn how MITRE tackles real-world challenges in technology, innovation, and healthcare solutions, and how students and recent graduates play a direct role in shaping our projects, products, and impact.

Explore the benefits of joining their team: structured training and mentorship, opportunities to work on meaningful, high-impact projects from day one, a culture that values inclusion and diverse perspectives, and clear pathways for career growth. You’ll hear about the kinds of roles and internships MITRE offers, the skills they look for,  and how they support your development through learning programs, networking, and hands-on experience.
