Required Internship Criteria

Students area required to participate in an internship that serves as the basis for the discussion section (to be offered as SAS 192).

Appropriate internships can be either those sponsored by the ICC or on-campus students governance, volunteer, or service positions that include significant breadth and scope of responsibility in the following areas:

• Supervision, particularly peer based
• Complex program planning
• Budgeting; planning and implementation
• Logistical coordination
• Collaboration with diverse teams
• Public communication
• Identification and utilization of resources

Campus positions may be used in place of ICC internships, subject to approval and provided they have broad application to the campus or the student body. Assessment of appropriateness will be based upon the breadth of experience a student gains, not on the title of a position. Examples of suitable on-campus experiences include:

• Organizing a peer-based advising program (e.g., Student Coordinators for the Peer Advising Counselors)
• Building a student coalition made up of multiple organizations
• Planning a campus-wide conference (e.g., Coordinating Cultural Days programs or the Cross Cultural Center’s REACH Retreat)
• Directing a large-scale student government initiative (e.g., Coordinating Picnic Day)
