About the Emerson Internship Program

The Emerson Internship Program is made possible through the generosity of the Emerson Foundation, which provides Emerson Scholarships at Ithaca College. The family foundation was established in 1932 by Fred L. Emerson, founder of Dunn & McCarthy, a manufacturer of women's footwear in Auburn, New York. His son, William M. Emerson, laid some of the basic groundwork for the IC-Emerson relationship and in 1975 established the Fred L. Emerson Foundation Endowed Scholarship and Internship Fund.
