Emerging Leaders Summer Internship Program
HI everyone,
This is the first of the extra emails I indicated that I would be sending out to you.
Here it is FALL and the semester has barely started and I am sending you information about SUMMER INTERNSHIPS!!! Things happen fast here!
The information you need and the person to contact is in the message below, after my signature. I do know we have had students win an internship with the program and it was a great experience and turned into a real job later on.
So if you need experience or need to work in the summer to pay for school, here is a good opportunity.
