of the Radcliffe Spring Break Externship Program, which links undergraduates
with sponsoring alumnae in a variety of occupations and locations. Students
learn firsthand from sponsors how work works. Initiated by the Class of 1947
in 1977, the program has brought together hundreds of students and alumnae
to collaborate in mentoring experiences. In the past, students had the opportunity
to live with and observe the work and lives of alumnae in such diverse fields
as law, medicine, publishing, the arts, farming, education and business. The
Externship program is immensely popular with students because it provides the
invaluable opportunity to see how women balance the many aspects of their lives.

who wish to explore career options free from the constraints of academic credit
or paid employment. For information, call 617-495-8641. The Radcliffe Mentor Program, Radcliffe Association, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, 79 Brattle Street.
