Interns receive funding for attendance at a conference of their choice as additional compensation for facilitating alcohol education programs. Funding for the conference is through the Office of Alcohol Education. Interns receive training and supervision for this work from the Director of Alcohol Education, and intern participation in the program follows a sequenced and graded curriculum. Each intern has a private office equipped with computer, observation window, and closed circuit cable network. Interns receive two days of computer training provided for new faculty at Virginia Tech as part of the internship orientation.
Interns receive free e-mail and internet accounts.
Interns receive free access to the fitness center in McComas Hall. Dr. Gary Bennett, a senior psychologist on the CC staff, networked with fitness center administrators to create this opportunity for the interns. Psychology interns utilize the manual for supervision of Counselor Education practicum students and interns. Dr. Michael Gore is leading a team that includes Dr. Cathye Betzel and Dr. Sherry Lynch to further expand the CC web site. Betzel, Gore, Lynch, and Miller revised and updated the training program web site in 1999.
