Internships
Internships are a great way to get experience, network and explore your options. We can help you with search strategies, resources and approaches as well as tailor your materials to specific opportunities.
Please note, our busiest times of the year are during the beginning and end of each semester, at which time, expect a two to three week wait for the next available appointment.
Please note PCAs do not hold Drop-in Hours or Virtual Appointments May-August.
If you are meeting with an advisor to do a materials review (i.e. resumes, cover letters, or portfolios) please forward your materials in advance to the advisor you are meeting with. This will allow them time prior to your appointment to review the materials and make your appointment as productive as possible.
Meetings are open to current 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 students and 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 alumni only. Students with disabilities may send a request in advance for accommodations via email to the staff person with whom they'll be meeting. This includes a request for a support person to join the meeting in a professional capacity. For example, a sign language interpreter, occupational therapist, or social worker.
In the event that you need to cancel your scheduled appointment, please give at least 24 hours notice. Repeated cancellations or no-shows may result in your ability to make a future appointment.
Stop by in person or virtually with a quick question or have documents reviewed. In person no appointment needed. Sign up for virtual via calendly.
