Another J-term has come and gone. Several students took advantage of J-term's orignal intent and participated in off campus internships through the Bassett Internship program. Each department is also responsible for supervising its own interns. After interns have been approved for the program and have confirmed placement sites, there are certain rules they must adhere to.
Interns work for academic credit.
They are not paid or otherwise compensated. All such arrangements are to be worked out between the intern and the agency sponsoring the internship. Prospective interns should understand that such arrangements are rare. The primary purpose of the Bassett Internships at Randolph-Macon is to provide an academically acceptable educational experience in a real work environment for our students who are qualified and interested. There are also a number of secondary objectives and benefits.
