Faculty Coordinators

In cooperation with employers, our faculty seek to ensure a realistic and educational internship experience for our students. Each major has one or more designated faculty to coordinate internships.  

Our Faculty Coordinators:

• Assist students in locating or developing an appropriate internship
• Help students develop learning objectives
• Monitor students' progress and issues grades
  
• Make themselves available to answer any questions that might arise
