The Apprentice, Harvard Style

As senior spring nears an end, many set to graduate at the end of the semester are accepting that the fun of college is coming to a close and choosing a path of consulting or banking. A new tumblr created by Jessica S. Lin '09, a former Crimson editor, W. Hugo Van Vuuren '07, and Mark D. Khanin '12, an inactive Crimson business editor, suggests that, on the contrary, jobs should be found elsewhere.

The tumblr, Apprent.is, aims to provide Harvard and MIT students in the Cambridge area with opportunities to connect with and personally learn from specialists in fields like visual arts and film, rather than business and marketing.

The co-founders believe that at a place like Harvard where students often pursue careers in business, students have less access to creative job opportunities and internships.

"We want to create a connection between students and awesome people in the world," Khanin said. "If you want to follow your passion, this is an awesome way to do that."

Apprent.is is their attempt to do just that, offering career and internship opportunities that are exciting and unconventional post-graduation options.
