“This is a 1956 Pennsylvanian minted wheat penny,” Grandpa remarked as he showed me the tiny reddish-brown coin. 10-year-old me grinned with pride.

“Today’s gift will help continue that legacy by making SEAS a 21st-century engineering leader.

Throughout Harvard College’s annual academic calendar, one thing rarely leaves an undergraduate’s mind: summer internships. As the spring semester comes to an end, students anxiously confer with each other about their suitably prestigious occupations, often citing consulting in New York, public policy in Washington, D.C., or start-ups in Silicon Valley.
