• How do I get started?

  First, you need to choose the right internship. All of the Communication internships are posted on our Communication blog: http://internships1-2-3.blogspot.com. Take a look at the blog and see what jobs match your learning goals.

  The Department updates the blog regularly, so keep checking. You may also want to consult with your Academic Adviser on internship opportunities that are appropriate for you. Second, you need an internship adviser. Many students ask their faculty advisers because they know you and are interested in helping you meet your internship learning goals, but you may ask any faculty member in the department to be your internship adviser. After you and your faculty adviser have decided on the best internship for you, you will need to fill out a Learning Contract. Please see the forms you will need for your internship listed below.
