An internship (full-timepart-time) is a real world experience related to your career goals and interests. It may, but does not have to be related connected to your academic major or minor. Internships can be done during the academic semester andor summer. There are several varieties of internships: some are paid, some are not and some offer credit towards graduation (from Stonybrook University's Career Center). Internships can be what helps you stand out in your job interviews after college. Most employers look for a combination of formal education and experience. Not only are you gaining valuable hands-on experience, you are also networking and making connections to professionals in your future career field. CTGR Higher Education encourages students to explore internship opportunities to supplement their college education. LIBRARY HOURS: Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. (closed Monday - Friday: noon - 1 p.m.) Saturday: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. As many of you know, the Tribal Library has been under construc tion since January. Our new addition will more than double our floor space and will allow the library to operate independently from the rest of the Adult Education Building. The expansion project was made possible when the Tribe applied for and was awarded a federal Indian Community Development Block Grant, a Spirit Mountain Community Fund grant and with the generous support of our Tribal leadership. The expansion project includes: New entry; Restrooms; Water fountain; Storage room; About 1,500 square feet of floor space. The construction is almost complete and the library should be back in order by the end of May. New shelving will arrive in mid-May, at which time we can get the remainder of the collection shelved and ready for check-out. The library is currently open with limited services and collection access. Our computer stations are set up and available for use, the children and youth collections are shelved and available for check out in temporary areas; DVDs and youth movies are available for check-out and more and more items get shelved each day as shelf space permits. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday Friday (closed noon to 1 p.m. for lunch) and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday The Education Division & Library will be hosting an Open House event in the Library on the evening of Thursday, June 2. This event . will coincide with the Education Division's annual Summer Kick-off Barbeque event at the Youth Education Building for families in the community. Everyone involved in the project has done and awesome job! The Library looks fabulous! Thank you.
