Expeditions - General Information

Internship expeditions are designed to assist students in finding an internship or career. An expedition will provide students with an opportunity to network, contact, and meet with HR managers and Alumni, Hiring managers, and executives from companies in the expedition's respective area. Students will also be introduced to LDS resources such as members, wards, institute, temple location, etc.

Students are 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.  

Up to 50 students may be accepted for each expedition and all majors are encouraged to apply.
