Interested in an Internship?
Are you thinking about doing an internship next fall or spring? If so, please come to one of the informational meetings! There are two meeting times: Thursday, April 9th at 12:00 and Friday, April 10th at 3:30. Both are in room 501 Life Science. Please attend even if you have already met with Dr. Macy Camac.Here are the current guidelines (from our internship website):https://roanoke.edu/Academics/Academic_Departments/Psychology/Research_and_Internships/Internships.htmBecause some of the internship guidelines are undergoing revision in order to comply with the Pathways Experiential Learning requirements, the website information is subject to change. The internship meeting will include a discussion of those changes. Two that might affect your decision are 1) that the number of hours required is now 120 (110 at the work site and 10 in meetings with the coordinator and/or your fellow interns) and 2) that you will be required to present a poster summarizing your experience at the Showcase of Experiential Learning at the end of the semester.Please consider coming out to discuss internships!
