Faculty and Staff Intern Advisors

Faculty and staff who work with students seeking internships have several different forums for information sharing. Career Services staff are glad to meet with staff individually to share information about resources, etc.

NACE Web Seminars - Faculty and staff are invited to join Career Services to participate in any or all of the upcoming NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) web seminars. These seminars are geared to assist professionals in their work with college students. Feel free to bring your lunch.

Blackboard organization - individuals can sign up via their staff Blackboard account to participate in the organization. Resources, sample forms, and statistical information are available through this forum.

Brown bag discussions - held twice a year (once in the fall and spring). Contact Chris Timm for meeting notes. Next meeting will be during Fall 2008.
