Interns Four ISU students have been selected as interns in the spring 2000 Reiman Scholars in Entrepreneurship Program. This unique internship program is designed for students who have a strong and demonstrated interest in entrepreneurship and working in an entrepreneurial environment.
Interns spend time at different sites, all of which focus on start-up companies.
The internship program is a mutually beneficial program for companies and students. Start-up companies, typically lacking in resources, receive quality assistance from interns who also have access to a multitude of resources through the Pappajohn Center. Interns receive hands-on experience in an entrepreneurial firm. Interns are put into a situation in which they may be challenged to perform research for a company, create databases, contact potential clients, program computers, write business plans, or make business decisions. The program emphasizes an entrepreneurship experience, thus students are exposed to all aspects of the business, regardless of their major field of study.
