The interns will receive salaries and be expected to work through most of the summer like other employees. Professor Steinberg believes that students will receive rewards beyond the ego-boosting. He also expects that the informal socialization lessons about teamwork and communication in the workplace will provide invaluable lessons. To augment these, he will assign written and verbal communication exercises to the students. I may have them write an ethnography of the company or prepare some type of business communication.
All freshman are eligible to apply for the program.
There will be an informational seminar during IAP, and applications will be due in mid-February.
