Sevillian Laboratories had the opportunity to participate in the Spring 2026 Rutgers University MBS Externship Exchange Program - a unique 12-week long initiative designed to connect graduate students with industry through real-world, project-based collaboration. For companies, the program provides access to high-caliber talent, structured ex*****on, and fresh, data-driven perspectives at no cost. While students are expanding their professional skills, organizations benefit from new ideas, structured project ex*****on, and meaningful insights that can help advance strategic initiatives.
The program concludes with Lightning Talk Presentations, where teams deliver concise, high-impact summaries of their work—followed by student recognitions and audience voting for the top presentations. This year’s cohort included organizations such as Colgate-Palmolive, Ingredion Incorporated, Bayer, Puratos Group, Robertet Group, Philadelphia Phillies - highlighting the program’s strong industry reach.
For our team, this externship was a valuable experience that not only expanded our capabilities, but also provided new insights into how we can continue to grow and improve as an organization. We effectively doubled our team and benefited from academic collaboration, thoughtful problem-solving, and detailed feedback from the student’s perspectives – gaining insights we can now apply to our day-to-day operations and future objectives. A special shoutout to Lori Dars for recommending this program, our Advisors Joey Liu, Ph.D., MBA and Varsha Kripalani for guiding the students, and our amazing team - Gary, Demi, Nichitha, Jason, and Makrand - for all of your hard work!
The Rutgers Professional Science Master's Program is now accepting applications for Summer and Fall cohorts. We highly encourage both prospective students and fellow businesses to experience this incredible opportunity!
