On Pointe
When Kitmin Chen joined the Graduate Internship Program at Oregon’s Knight Campus, he had seven years’ experience as an analytical chemist—but he couldn't move up the ladder. Chen was looking for a fast return to work with a salary boost. He found much more at UO. Today, he is deeply engaged in his work as a researcher at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
When I was working in industry, I felt that my achievements were merely contributions to the company’s financial gain. Through this program and the internship at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, I found my passion in research and came to understand what it takes to become a scientist.
Practical experience with real clients is integrated in many UO graduate programs. Just two examples: Oregon’s Environmental Law Externships place students in government offices, tribal nations, and nonprofits to tackle legal challenges; and MBA students advise entrepreneurs.
