Radcliffe Externship program to take place over spring break

For many students, spring break means soaking up some sun in a warm climate. For approximately 66 undergraduate women at Harvard and Radcliffe, spring break will mean participating in the Externship Program, a unique opportunity to explore career and lifestyle choices firsthand. Now in its 20th year, the Externship Program at Radcliffe College matches young women with alumnae sponsors. The program runs from March 22-29.

"What sets this program apart from other externship programs is the living arrangements," said Susan Arnott, the program coordinator. "Our Radcliffe alumnae open their homes to their externs. This week of 'shadowing' gives students an overview of sponsors' professional and personal lives. Students see the rewards and pitfalls of a particular profession firsthand." The sponsors' professions include attorney, physician, filmmaker, journalist, educator, artist, judge, and research scientist. The Externship Program is part of the Radcliffe Office of Undergraduate Programs.

ART's student-discount program given boost

The American Repertory Theatre has received a gift of $50,000 from PaineWebber in support of the Theatre's student discount programs.

Artistic Director Robert Brustein said, "The Theatre has always been committed to making its work accessible to as broad an audience as possible, particularly to the many young people in this community. We are thrilled by this important contribution."

In other news, the ART will present selections from three repertory productions at the Chekhov International Theatre Festival to be held in Moscow on March 26. The ART will be the first American company to perform at the festival, the first American company to perform at the historic Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre, and the first company to participate with a repertory of three works.
