In the past, mentors have come from campus departments such as Arroyo Vista Housing, Athletics, Career Center, Center for Women and Gender Education, Cross-Cultural Center, Division of Undergraduate Education, Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Middle Earth Housing, Office of the Dean of Students and the UCI Bookstore.
Internships usually involve responsibility for a single or series of significant projects.
Examples of projects that interns have undertaken in the past include an analysis of selected campus retail operations, promoting undergraduate research opportunities, developing a department handbook or policy guide, establishing a process for selecting student staff, marketing and administrating a leadership development program, and administering student focus groups. This seminar meets weekly and includes readings, journal assignments, team projects and reports, guest presenters, and special projects. In addition, several corporate site visits are scheduled each year. The seminar also offers Administrative Interns the opportunity to relate their campus internship experiences to the topics covered in class.
