You're thinking about an internship or you want to spend a summer doing research. Suppose you want research experience for graduate school or work experience for job-hunting. No matter what your objective, you have decided that there's engaged learning in your future. I hope that you will make an appointment to see me, so that we can explore options available to you, discuss how an internship might fit with your personal goals, and let me explain deadlines and details. I may suggest that you consider one of the credit-bearing programs listed in this booklet.
Many employers think well of such initiative.
You'll want to check bulletin boards where posters list enticing internships. Programs developed by other colleges and universities or by international agencies are often marketed through posters. Posted announcements are also found on Resume Expert online. But don't neglect other, less official sources for internships. Faculty members in your major may have ideas or local contacts.
