Weinberg junior Jennifer Zhan (left) shadows alumna Ani Schmidt on the job at the Chicago History Museum in April. Schmidt, a 2008 Northwestern graduate, is public programs coordinator at the museum. Zhan’s visit was part of Northwestern’s annual externship program called NEXT. As part of the program, Northwestern students spend a day observing the work of alumni to gain insight into different industries and career paths. More than 400 students were matched with alumni hosts this year. NEXT is co-hosted by Northwestern Career Advancement and the Northwestern Alumni Association. Photo by Jim Prisching
