very closely with an Assistant Director in the Career Services office and is required to complete weekly

materials including journals. Each student also writes a report about their internship experience and what

they have learned. The numbers below indicate the enrollment of students in this class.

24% increase over last year.

In addition to the on-campus interviews, there were 4,967 positions (both full-time and internships) posted on the
