Students who undertake an internship can add an academic dimension to their experience, and gain academic credit, by taking this class concurrently with their internship. Students work with a Faculty Mentor in a small-group, collaborative framework, to reflect upon their experiences, analyze and evaluate the standards, practices, and values operating in their professional contexts, deepen their understanding of the relationships between career competencies and various ways of knowing, and think critically with their peers to build collaborative approaches to workplace challenges and success. This class will meet between 4 and 6 times per semester, as determined by the Faculty Mentor. Note: Internships must be registered through the Office of Career Services.

Internships provide students with the opportunity to develop or refine both field-specific skills and career competencies, sought by employers across all fields. Working with a Career Services professional, students participate in asynchronous guided written reflections and intentional professional development activities. Through all of these experiences, they gain insights to further their personal vocational discernment process. Note: Internships must be registered through the Office of Career Services.
