LaunchPad UT Spring 2021 Internships

About LaunchPad UT

Part of the global Blackstone LaunchPad & Techstars Network, “The LaunchPad” is a program of the School of Undergraduate Studies that helps students of all backgrounds navigate and explore entrepreneurship at UT. Think of us as the Google Maps for everything entrepreneurship on campus and beyond.

Program Overview

In Fall 2019, we launched our Innovation Fellows program and hired undergraduate students from all backgrounds to treat the LaunchPad as a startup and help us tackle real-world business challenges.

Our Fellows start by writing a Success Narrative – a “story” (written in the past tense) about what a great semester looks like for them personally, academically, and professionally. We then use that as a roadmap to work backwards during the semester for accountability and to ensure that our Fellows’ work experience continues to align with their goals.

For Spring 2021, we’re hiring for the following positions:

  • Digital Media Strategist
  • Social Media Strategist
  • Wild Card
