Come join the office staff for tips on making your internship a great success! From first impressions to networking to gracious goodbyes, bring your questions and we'll provide answers based on experience both as interns and as supervisors.

These events are open to everyone, but are especially helpful for those students who are not taking our experiential learning course with the program, as the topics covered will mirror those covered in class
