Graduate Internship — Summer 2012

Internship Description

The Freshman College will offer a paid graduate internship beginning in mid-May and ending August 8, 2012. During the program evening and weekend work will be required. This experience will expose a graduate intern to a learning community administered within academic affairs, while providing the opportunity to collaborate with student affairs. The Freshman College gives regularly admitted first-year students the chance to experience the University of Georgia prior to the beginning of their first fall semester. Participants enroll in six semester hours and attend activities and events organized by program staff.

The primary focus of this internship will be assisting the Coordinator during the planning and implementation of Freshman College. This internship is also an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge about administrative roles within an academic support unit and to become familiar with services provided to students on the University of Georgia campus.
