TheSquare Episode 10 · The 2020 Pajama Internship · w/ Halima McWilliams

As the Human Resources Director at Corgan, Halima McWilliams is at the helm of people, operations, and culture. In the midst of the pandemic, she is charged with reinforcing a firm culture where employees are at their best and providing experiences that honor our values and the ways we connect with each other. An extension of those values, the Corgan internship program offers a practical stepping-stone that connects formal education with seasoned experience and a community of ideas and innovators. In this week’s episode of TheSquare, Halima shares how Corgan quickly adapted to the restraints and challenges of the pandemic to preserve both a talent pipeline for the industry and a meaningful experience for the summer class of interns. The four-week virtual program pursues the same spirit of hands-on experience combined with community and mentorship. Interns will tackle a design sprint with Hugo, the firm’s research and development arm, to conceptually explore and interpret the idea of ‘agility’ — producing tangible deliverables for their portfolio while building a network of mentors, probing professional strengths, and researching and testing ideas in a safe and supportive space. While the traditional program tasked interns with solving real-world problems on billable projects, this year’s class of emerging talent will press further into the fundamentals of human-centric design and interrogate the core of compelling, relevant architecture that will shape our world — all while in their pajamas. Stay tuned for what they learn and the ways they inspire a growing network of future architects and designers.
