Katie Rohloff Bulletin Writer A nita Stark, a graduate student in art therapy, juggles 13 hours of class, teaches a class and works two internships. Stark has been interning at the El Dorado State Prison and at SOS, the women's shelter in Emporia. I just have to make it happen.
Internships help students determine whether they enjoy the field they are about to enter.
Internships also give students experience before they apply for their first job. Emporia State interns are as valuable to employers as the positions are to the interns. Internships can include various tasks. Stark uses art therapy with groups of inmates in the medium to maximum security prison. However, this can vary.
