After a highly competitive application and formal interview process, Xaverian is proud to announce that 19 members of the Class of 2026 have been selected for the 2025 Ryken Internship Student Experience (RISE)! Now in its third year, these competitive, industry-specific internships provide rising seniors at Xaverian with real-world experiences in the areas of law, medicine, robotics, architecture, business, construction management, sports management, and more.

The overall goal of the RISE program is to allow students to develop lasting relationships with the broader Xaverian network by providing an opportunity to connect with alumni, parents of alumni, and friends of the Xaverian who are working within a profession of high interest to them.

The RISE program has seen significant growth since its inception in the 2022-2023 school year. The program’s inaugural class was composed of 10 students and 7 internship placements. This year, more than 50 members of the junior class submitted applications in the hope of being selected for an internship at one of the twelve partnering organizations. In addition to working with several new organizations this year, multiple organizations who have worked with Xaverian’s RISE scholars in the past graciously made the decision to hire more than one current junior for their internship program this summer.

Congratulations to the following 19 members of the Class of 2026 who have been selected for the 2025 Ryken Internship Student Experience!
