TESTIMONIALS

Students hanging out

Campus offices and/or personnel are excited to work with Higher Education and Student Affairs interns to envision and develop experiences tailored to the future career aspirations of those students. Interns should keep in mind, however, that the experience is as fulfilling as the efforts they put into integrating learned theories with the assigned duties. Faculty encourage students to engage in an established internship experience or to develop and seek approvval for a new internship opportunity with any on-campus department or external institution.
