The schedule established requires that students interested in internships for Spring 2020 submit applications and make choices about internship sites of interest to them early in the semester. This process will leave the last half of the semester to complete the student-site matching process and the interviews and visits often necessary to finalize decisions regarding placements. Under School policy, intern applications cannot be referred to site sponsors until they have been approved. Students who miss the application deadline will fall behind in the process and may have to settle for whatever sites are still available.
Students who apply on schedule and select at least five sites will still be eligible to apply for any new internships offered afterOctober 11th provided they have not already accepted an existing intern position. Announcements of new internship opportunities will be posted on the Internship Bulletin Board outside of 119 Ives Hall, on the Credit Internship Facebook page and on Chatter!
