How to become a Sponsor
Internship sponsors are asked to submit a sponsorship application form and position description to the internship coordinator, who will then use that information to screen applicants for internships.

Hiring decisions are, of course, made by the sponsors. The School can facilitate the process in many ways, including sending screened resumes to the sponsor and hosting on-campus interviews. In past years, sponsors have conducted telephone interviews, invited students to interviews at corporate sites, even interviewed via teleconference. For additional information, go to the Student Resumes section of the Corporate Center.

Internships typically take place during the summer and are 10-12 weeks in duration. Internships during other academic quarters are also occasionally available, as are internships of longer duration.

Students on internship are expected to function as "normal" employees. They work a standard work week, attend staff meetings, and perform overtime/special duties when appropriate.

At the close of the internship, the sponsor is asked to submit to the internship coordinator a formal evaluation of the intern's performance. Standard company personnel evaluations are acceptable.
