Contact Tere Hogue about W396, and Steve Fox about W398 or L490. Internships are excellent opportunities and you are encouraged to look into them. W398 and L490 internships allow you to learn outside the classroom environment, explore career opportunities, gain experience in career-related fields, make valuable contacts in the professional world, prove your ability to perform at the professional level, and sometimes find permanent employment. Internships are available in a range of settings, including government and non-profit organizations, small and large businesses, and educational institutions.
Most internships involve writing, and many involve editing, research, and public relations.
Many internships are paid. You can apply for internships on file or make your own arrangements. This program offers experienced student writers opportunities to learn more about their writing while tutoring students in the University Writing Center. Those accepted to the program enroll in the W396 Writing Fellows Training Seminar, which prepares them to work as effective peer tutors and enhances their awareness of language, both written and oral. Fellows tutor six hours a week.
