Departments who desire to offer an internship opportunity must submit a request to Human Resources that describes the project, the estimated project start and end dates, the approximate number of hours per week needed, and the desired qualifications and/or area of study of the student intern.  Click to view the complete College Intern Policy.

• The department’s intern supervisor receives the applications and resumes of intern candidates that have been pre-screened/pre-selected for placement; 
• The department extends interview invitations to those candidates who are best qualified for the project;
