Twitter's role is for people to gather from all over the world to see what's happening, and to have a conversation about what they see.
We are proud to serve the public conversation so we can help increase the accessibility and velocity of a simple, free and open exchange of information. Twitter is a place you can help make something happen which is much bigger than you. As a new grad or intern, you'll have the support you need—and the responsibility—to make a difference.
