The director of career planning will assist students in planning internships. Approval of all internships begins in the career planning office. Each year various departments of the college select outstanding seniors who will be designated senior assistants. The purpose of the program is to give the students an introduction to college teaching by participating in the activities normally encountered by the college teacher, including lecturing or directing class activities. The nature of the program varies and selections must be approved by the academic affairs committee.
Selection is by invitation rather than by application.
During the past two years, students have studied in Japan, Bulgaria, Venezula, Mexico, Moracco, France, and Chicago, Dallas and other locations in the United States. For information on these programs, inquire at the academic dean's office. Roy L. Smith-Willson Lectures were established by Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Parkhurst Lectures on the Bible were established by Dr. and Mrs. George Parkhurst to bring to the campus scholars who are known for their unusual ability to interpret the meaning and purpose of the Bible for a student generation.
