GEMA Externship Program

The Georgetown Entertainment & Media Alliance and the Crawley Career Education Center collaborate on the GEMA Externship Program, a unique opportunity for undergraduate seniors, MBA, Law and all other students enrolled in a graduate program at Georgetown. The externship provides students the unique opportunity to spend time with experienced professionals in entertainment and media, and get a firsthand look at day-to-day operations in the industry.

Specifically, students will attend a number of individual or group meetings (ie, “informational interviews”) with professionals representing a broad spectrum of experiences within the industry. While each schedule of informational interviews is individually designed with a student’s particular interests in mind, the larger goal of the externship program is to facilitate a greater understanding of the industry as a whole.
