Interns provide outreach programming, at first in tandem with a senior staff member to classes and campus organizations. Each intern will do at least two presentations per semester.
Interns also provide consultations to students, faculty and staff on psychological issues.
The intern will be part of a liaison team with a senior staff member to serve such campus groups as a dormitory or the Office of International Educational Services. Each semester, in consultation with the Coordinator of Training, the intern will choose two areas of emphasis and will devote two hours per week to each area.

Each intern has three supervisors each semester, an individual case load supervisor, a group counseling supervisor and a supervisor of supervision .
