Summer Internship Opportunity with the Federal Reserve Board

The Federal Reserve Board is currently looking for a summer intern. This opportunity was shared by a recent Cal Poly Stats graduate who had an internship there!

They are interested in students with a background in Statistics or data analysis. This could be a great fit for Stats majors who are curious about careers in the financial sector or economic policy.

One important note: applicants must be planning to return to school after the summer.

Hi everyone,


I'm the coach for the Cal Poly teams in an international competition in mathematical modeling -- the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (or MCM). I'm holding a pair of orientation meetings for the 2026 MCM. If you're interested, please attend one or email me if can't make either. Details about the contest and Math 371 are included below.
  • on-campus: Mon., Sep. 22, 6:10-7:00pm, 38-135

2026 MCM  (WQ26) and Math 371 (FQ25)
The MCM is held every year over 4 days in January or February; this year, it will take place Jan. 29 — Feb. 2, 2026.   It is open to any undergraduate student currently enrolled at Cal Poly (full or part time) and is appropriate for students at any level: first-year students to those about to graduate. It is open to any major as well -- it can be a competitive advantage in the MCM to have an interdisciplinary team.
