An internship (full-time/part-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 and/or summer. There are several varieties of internships: some are paid, some are not and some offer credit toward graduation (from Stonybrook Univer- sity’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 ex- perience. Not only are you gaining valuable hands-on experience, you are also networking and making connections to professionals in your future career fi eld. CTGR Higher Education encourages students to explore internship opportunities to supplement their college education. n The following Committees and Special Event Boards have vacant positions.
