Corporate Partners
Through our Corporate Partners, AMSA students have tremendous opportunities to engage with local scientists, engineers, and other professionals. Local companies provide summer internships to AMSA students, send guest speakers to classes, and offer mentoring and job shadowing opportunities. In addition, AMSA has formed special partnerships with the following companies. If your company is looking to inspire tomorrow's leaders, contact Mark Vital at m.vital@amsacs.org to learn about partnership opportunities.
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals formed a unique collaboration with AMSA in which students gain deep knowledge about neuroscience while learning about life science career paths within a pharmaceutical company.
Thermo Fisher Scientific donated a new Phenom ProX scanning electron microscope to AMSA. This momentous gift made AMSA the only public school in the state to house a scanning electron microscope.
Boston Scientific offers paid internships for AMSA students and supports city-wide STEM initiatives that benefit students throughout Marlborough.
Quest Diagnostics, located across from AMSA's campus, developed paid internships in their molecular labs specifically for AMSA students.
