Greetings from Career Development!

With summer right around the corner, many of you are confirming summer plans. For some, this may include an internship experience — fabulous! There have been some recent changes to the internship program that we’d like to share with you.

If you are planning on receiving credit for an internship (at any time of year!), you need to visit the Joseph Meyerhoff Center for Career Development before the internship starts to formalize the experience. The office is located on the second floor of the Gateway Building. You will receive an internship packet including the Learning Contract. The contract requires signatures from you, your department chairperson, the internship site supervisor, and lastly, Courtney Resnick, the Internship Coordinator at Career Development. The contract must be turned in before or within two weeks of the internship start date. Obtaining signatures can take some time, so make sure you plan this out in advance because late contracts will not be accepted! If you are leaving Baltimore for the summer and find an internship in another city, you can still get credit for your experience — you just have to call our office before your internship starts and we’ll work out the details with you.

In addition to the Learning Contract, there are other required assignments, which are outlined in the internship packet and will be explained to you when you visit our office. If you have any questions, please visit our website at www.mica.edu/careerdevelopment, email our office at careerdevelopment@mica.edu, or call us at 410.225.2420. We look forward to hearing about your internship experiences!
