If you're thinking of getting an unpaid internship this summer, you should strongly consider enrolling in the Internship Success and Stipend Class that starts next Friday, October 3, and meets weekly for the remainder of the semester. Summer stipends are not guaranteed if you take the class, but the Career Center will consider your completion of the class when making its decisions. Last spring, I took this class, and it probably contributed to the Gephardt Institute's decision to offer me a stipend that enabled me to intern at a non-profit in New York City.
The class only meets for an hour a week, so as long as you don't have a direct conflict, it really won't take up much of your time. There is some homework, but most of it is relevant to your internship search and will help you get the most out of your internship.
This is a great way to learn about maximizing your internship experience. Also, if you are planning to go abroad in the spring and are considering an unpaid internship when you return for the summer, this is your best chance to get financial help! RSVP on CareerLink soon!
