This company is looking for a Summer Research Intern focused on client prospecting from the residential, corporate, hospitality, and multi-family design industries. The internship can be conducted in-person in the New York City office or remotely.
The founder of ArtStar, Chrissy Crawford Corredor ’02, an alumna of Meadows and its Art History program, is intent on hiring a Meadows student for this role and will be conducting on-campus interviews in April before selecting an intern.
