To the Editor :
To the Editor: Sidney Miller
I would like to thank you
for your participation in the
Evergreen internship program
in the past. The program has
met with a great deal of suc
cess. largely because of the
enthusiastic support given it by
organizations such as your
own.
Since the program’s incep
tion in 1971, we have placed
over 2,000 interns in business,
industry, education, social
work and a variety of other
fields. We are looking forward
to an improved and expanded
program next year — one
which will provide opportun
ities for even more students to
gain knowledge and experience
while at the same time ren
dering a valuable service to
your organization through
practical application of > the
skills and talents they have
cultivated in the classroom.
We expect to place be
tween 600 and 800 students in
practical learning situations
through the cooperative educa-
tion program next year. If you
would like your organization
included in the program,
please complete this form even
if you do not have a definite
position mind at this time. A
more detailed survey form can
be completed when the in
ternship becomes firm. Infor
mation from this form will be
used in compiling our 1976-77
Catalog of Internships and Car
eer Learning experiences. As
in the past, we cannot promise
a match between your needs
and student interests. However,
as the college grows and as
our students’ interests become
more diverse, we anticipate a
better matching and selection
process.
We are grateful for the
support you have given us in
the past and look forward to
working even more closely
with you in the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Faulene Main Senior

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

the Municipal Services Branch.
The Tribal Education Depart
ment, headed by the Tribal

the Tribal Council has dele
