Summer RISE 2023 Comes to a Close

Summer RISE 2023 Program Celebration

On July 28th, over 1,000 people attended the Summer RISE closing ceremony at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center  to celebrate the successes of this year's students.

During the program, students were able to hear from local leaders including Dr. McKnight, special guest speaker Lt. Governor Aruna Miller, Summer RISE graduate speakers, and an MCPS notable graduate panel of entrepreneurs. Students were able to network with host organizations to learn more about what they do and hear about more ways to engage or find out about possible internship or employment opportunities.

This year, over 900 students had the opportunity to participate in the program and earn a $500 stipend while learning about a career they are interested in. The program had host opportunities from 185 organizations representing over 70 industry areas.
