Academic Credit for your Internship!

Hi all --

Please remember that if you have an Internship lined up for Spring, you can get up to 6 Sociology credits for it.  I am attaching the Internship Proposal that needs to be completed in order to get your internship approved for credit, but it may be well worth your time to fill it out.  

Make an appointment today (amclaug1@umd.edu) so talk over any questions you might have about this process.  I can help you find an internship, review your application materials, and go over any other questions you might have.  I will be back in my office beginning January 8th so if you are around, come see me and we will explore the opportunities!

Reasons for doing an internship:

• Helps you to stand out in a competitive job market 

• Expands your resume 

• Makes contacts for job references 

• Internship may lead to a permanent position 

• Enables you to explore a variety of career interests, occupations, and work environments 

• Allows you to apply classroom knowledge 

• Develops new skills and builds on your experience 

• Develops professional relationships and mentors 

• Increases self-confidence, leadership skills, and builds interpersonal and communication skills

• Helps with some graduate school applications 

Thanks,
Amy McLaughlin
