Internship opportunities are offered in both paid and unpaid positions depending on intern's experience & skills, time commitment availability, academic credit ability and semester sought. Housing is also available semester.
• This internship is NOT for the student looking to get by, be a social butterfly or to party for the semester.

All applicants must have strong writing skills and knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel.
