Martin F. Mayer Internship Program

Administered by the Yale Entrepreneurial Society, the Yale Club of New Haven and the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute

Introduction

In line with the philosophy that the best way to learn about entrepreneurship is to work for an entrepreneur, YES and YCNH have partnered to launch a summer internship program dedicated to placing Yale undergraduate students at exciting, local start-up ventures and providing those students with a $3500 stipend.

Martin F. Mayer ’58 was a spirited and dedicated member of the Yale and New Haven business communities who passed away on February 11, 2010. We have named this program in honor of his impassioned commitment to entrepreneurship.

Sponsorship

Current internship opportunities are being sponsored by the Yale Club of New Haven and Winstanley Enterprises, LLC.

We hope to raise funds to create an enduring initiative, and continue to offer internship opportunities to students and start-ups for years to come. If you are interested in supporting this fund, please email [email protected] or mail donations to: Yale Club of New Haven, PO Box 775, New Haven, CT 06503-0775.
