Goals and Objectives

The Expeditions' goals and objectives are to assist students in finding an internship. An Expedition will also provide students with an opportunity to network, contact, and meet with executives and companies in the expedition's respective area, as well as make students aware of LDS resources such as members, wards, institute, temple, etc. Students are also strongly encouraged to set up their own individual appointments, in addition to the appointments with the companies the group will be visiting. A student's success on the Internship Expedition will largely depend upon how well they nurture the contacts upon returning from the expedition.

In summary: we are providing students an avenue that enables them to obtain an internship in the area by helping them get their "foot in the door."

Qualifications

Students must meet the following criteria:

(a) Sophomore, Junior or Senior standing
(b) Minimum 3.0 GPA
(c) Sincere desire to intern or live in the respective area

Students will only be considered for one expedition per semester and will be given secondary consideration if he/she has previously attended an internship expedition.

Student Costs

Costs are expected to be approximately $350 - $400, including airfare, room/board, and local transportation. Costs WILL vary by city, and all expenses may not be covered as noted. You may be responsible for additional expenses.
