Thirteen students are gaining hands-on experience this summer through the FLX Summer Internship Program, hosted by the Salisbury Center for Career, Professional, and Experiential Education. Interns are exploring a wide range of areas, from food security in Geneva to the history of women’s rights in Seneca Falls, and applying their academic knowledge to real-world challenges.
Students like Kateryna Romaniuk (senior year ’26) and Alden Harchick (senior year ’26) are working on local governance and small business growth respectively. Romaniuk has focused on supporting local business initiatives, while Harchick is redesigning e-commerce platforms for small businesses. Meanwhile, Tymofi Trakhachov (senior year ’26) is bringing art into public spaces with a mural project in downtown Geneva.
Executive Director Brandi Ferrara praises the program, saying, “Our students combine what they learn in the classroom with practical, impactful work while experiencing the beauty of the Finger Lakes.”
