Academic & Professional Staff
Our Internships team is ready and waiting to help you arrange and support successful internships for your students.
But keep in mind they don’t always have to involve an external host. We can also help you take on one or more interns in your own department—bringing all the same benefits enjoyed by industry.
Student interns get to experience a work environment they may not have previously considered, or be exposed to other opportunities.
