1. Contact the internship coordinator, Jennifer Johnson by mid semester prior to intended internship.
2. Schedule a meeting with the Internship Coordinator by mid semester prior to intended internship to discuss internship options and receive a copy of the Internship Handbook.  Students should discuss their prospective internships with the Internship Coordinator prior to contacting any organizations.
