The program internship coordinators have a number of internship contacts and sites gleaned from faculty connections, position announcements received by the department, and previous student internship experiences. Employer solicitations are normally shared via email. However, many students discover opportunities on their own initiative, in some cases by contacting organizations or other employers in their hometowns. When approaching a potential site, students should have a clear idea of what types of experiences they wish to gain from the internship, along with a concise resume of their qualifications.
