Taking a closer look
Internships cater to liberal arts majors
By Denise Fuller

Long ago, people interested in becoming
blacksmiths would apprentice themselves to
established blacksmiths to gain practical experience.
Weavers would learn to weave. Silversmiths would
learn to work silver.
Now liberal arts majors can enjoy the same type
ot opportunities in a new internship program design
ed especially for them.
"What we are trying to do is let liberal arts
students take a closer look at the world of work,”
says Debbie Chereck, a career development
specialist, about the Career Development Internship
Program offered through the Career Planning and
Placement Center.
This term eight University students have intern
ships in local businesses and government agencies,
and six new openings are anticipated for winter term.
Charles Rynerson, a senior in economics, is
working for Lane Transit District's marketing depart
ment and is responsible for making the public aware
of LTD's newly installed wheelchair lifts on 75 per
cent of Eugene's buses.
As an intern, Rynerson writes articles for "E-Z Ac
cess,” LTD's newsletter. He also is producing a
slideshow illustrating how disabled individuals can
use the system.
"I have to use a lot of creativity,” Rynerson says.
More importantly, the internship gives him ex
periences he can't get from classes, Rynerson says.
"My internship helps me to deal with the public,
and I'm working with professionals who I would not
meet at the University. Doing something like this
after having a lot of schooling helps you to syn
thesize what you've learned in school with what
you're going to do in the working world," he says.
Rynerson's supervisor — Ed Bergeron, LTD
marketing administrator — has similar thoughts.
“Internships allow (the intern) to see what it's
like in an organization. A career decision is a real im
portant one and an internship allows you to feel what
it's like. You can't get all the answers in the
classroom," Bergeron says.
Another intern is English major Darcel Warren,
who is working with the Oregon Pacific Economic
Development Corp. in public relations. Oregon
Pacific is a non-profit organization which promotes
Oregon.
Although she's not paid for her efforts, Warren
says she still benefits from the experience.
“When you’re working in an internship, you're
not making a living at it and you're less worried
about the buck and more concerned with what
you're doing," she says. "You can see what you like
as a whole on a day-to-day basis."
As an intern, Warren is researching secondary
education's importance in the Southern Willamette
Valley between Corvallis and Eugene. Her project is
part of Oregon Pacific's promotional eforts to attract
businesses, especially high-tech forms, to the area.
Before becoming interns, students must be
juniors or seniors in good academic standing in the
arts and sciences college. They must be able to make
a minimum one-term commitment, spend eight
hours per week on the job and attend weekly two
hour seminar sessions. Interns receive three credits
through the Counseling Department.
