How do I find an internship?

1. The English department will send out emails occasionally announcing internships that should be of specific interest to you. Read them before deleting them.
2. You can intern with the English department--all you need to have done is be a TA for one or more teachers.
3. Numerous internship expeditions head out each semester. They're a great way to make connections.
4. Try your luck with the Career Navigator .
5. Your initiative! Sell yourself to potential employers by taking steps to make yourself noticed if you'd like to intern somewhere not mentioned in Career Navigator. Send letters to companies, polish your resume, don't be afraid of rejection.
