Welcome to Summer Internship Conversations! Our interests are varied - our experiences diverse, yet there is one common objective: Summer Interns hope to learn skills which will help them in their career development.
Let me introduce myself, in case you and I did not meet directly during your registration process. My name is Lynn Downie, and I am Coordinator of Career Programs at Presbyterian College. In particular, one of my primary responsibilities is to coordinate with students, employers and faculty intern advisors throughout your internship experience.
During spring and fall semesters, we have internship seminars to discuss the potential learning opportunities and pitfalls of your internship. That isn't possible to do in-person during the summer, so I have created a place we can do this online.
As we begin the semester, please leave a comment including your name, where you are interning and one goal you have for your summer experience. This will give everyone the opportunity to know who else is "along for the ride."
Next week we will have "seminar one, " which will be sharing your first impressions about your internship as you get started. If you sign up to follow this blog, you should receive an invitation in the form of my next entry on this blog. (By-the-way, if you prefer to use a blog format for your journal, that should work fine. Just make sure your faculty intern advisor agrees to accept a blog instead of an emailed document.)
Talk to you soon!
