Internship Opportunities
The Office of Human Resources has established an internship program for senior-level (7 and 8) salaried staff members.

This internship program was developed to help staff members explore potential for promotion into professional staff positions. Internships will be tailored individually to fit the education, experience and interests of individual participants and to aid them in exploring placement on campus. Participants must have completed the undergraduate degree or be nearing completion of a program of study toward the bachelor's degree.

Any senior salaried staff member can begin discussion of this internship approach by scheduling an appointment with Richie Holland, Manager of Human Resources and Affirmative Action, at 831-2059.
