Description:
INTERN FOR A DAY

Intern for a Day is a program through the University Career Center & The
President’s Promise that connects undergraduate students with host sites
for one day internship/shadowing experiences.  This semester, we have 150
hosts from a wide variety of fields and industries.  The goal of Intern for a
Day is to help students clarify career interests and explore the world of
work. All information about Intern for a Day is listed on our website:
www.Careers.umd.edu/InternForADay

The majority of Intern for a Day hosts are open to ALL majors, but some
shadowing experiences that may be of particular interest to CMNS majors are
the following:
•          FDA/Center for Veterinary Medicine/Division of Compliance
•          Jecho Laboratories, Inc
•          IBM
•          Smithsonian Department of Mineral Sciences, Division of
Petrology & Volcanology
•          And many more

In order to be considered for Intern for a Day, each student must attend a
short, 30-minute orientation session in the University Career Center & The
President’s Promise:
•          Thursday, Feb. 12, 4-4:30pm
•          Tuesday, Feb. 17, 12-12:30pm
•          Monday, Feb. 23: 12-12:30pm

Students have until Monday, February 23, 2015 @ 11:59pm to apply to the
program through www.Careers.umd.edu/InternForADay.  It is highly recommended
that students thoroughly read through the list of hosts (and keep an open
mind!) before applying to the program.  The application will ask the student
to rank order his/her top 5 choices to shadow.
