The Summer Internship Initiative is a project that aims to unite students and local organizations to offer meaningful summer internship opportunities.  Students will work with community partners on projects that build on student talents and the community partner's goals.  Over the summer,  students will have the option to enroll in an independent study course to receive academic credit for these unpaid internship positions.  Trained student mentors will lead workshops and work one-on-one with students to set up appropriately designed positions. 

​ Starting spring 2013 this program will be piloted to create opportunities for summer 2013.
