Intern Program at MTSU
Janet McCormick is a new member of Heart of Tennessee BPW. At the Region II District IV meeting, she explained that the communications majors at MTSU are required to Intern for organizations to complete their degree. This service is free to the organizaton. This sounds like a great opportunity to get help with developing and executing a plan for a major fundraiser for your local. For more information please contact Janet. Her email is listed below.
Here are a few specifics on the Internship Program at MTSU:
1. The student is responsible for finding their own internship (I will help them to connect with you if you can send me an outline of your needs).
2. The supervisor of the internship site must then write a letter to me (we have a form for this) stating the hours expected to be worked and the job responsibilities.
3. After I approve the letter, the student may register for the internship. An intern typically works 5 hours per week for 15 weeks to earn one credit hour at MTSU. 10 hours per week earns 2 credit hours, 15 hours per week earns 3 credit hours (75, 125, 225 hours respectively). A student may take up to 4 hours of credit spread out
over 4 semesters or in combination as needed (including all 4 hours in one semester).
4. Near the end of the semester, the work site supervisor will be sent evaluation questionnaires by me to be filled out and returned in order for the student to be eligible to pass the internship.
Let me know your needs and I will try to find you a good match.
Sincerely,
Janet McCormick
