Procedures

Internship experiences are individually developed to meet the needs and interests of the students to the extent possible. The first step in locating an internship site is to determine what population you wish to work with and the type of work setting you wish to work in after graduation. Your internship experience should reflect your career goals. The higher education leadership faculty internship supervisor will be available to discuss this with you and help you identify appropriate potential sites . Students must meet with the faculty intern advisor, Dr. Sally Bomotti, prior to entering into an internship agreement and beginning internship work.

Once an internship site and a cooperating site supervisor have been identified, students need to make an appointment with the faculty internship supervisor prior to registration in the internship course (EDH 790) to complete the Internship Agreement. This agreement spells out what the internship will entail and must be signed by you, the site supervisor, and the faculty internship supervisor. It is your responsibility to make sure that the Internship Agreement is filled out, signed by all three parties to the agreement, and returned to the faculty internship supervisor. You must then be concurrently registered for EDH 790 while doing your internship.

It is recommended that you complete at least two semesters of course work in the higher education leadership program before embarking upon the internship.
