In addition to working closely with senior staff mentors on specific tasks and projects, interns also spend considerable time on professional development. Interns have the opportunity to meet with staff from the Student Professional Development Center and the Leadership and Professional Development Office. Interns learn about the functioning of the senior staff, the board of trustees, and the Office of the President. Interns have the opportunity to attend a meeting of a university board or council, to meet with individual senior staff members, and to attend other university functions.
Interns receive a $1200 stipend for their work during winter term. Individual interns may work in advance with the Student Professional Development Center to develop and fulfill requirements to receive academic co-op or internship credit.
Interns are expected to conduct themselves with the highest levels of professionalism. Interns are representatives of the university and should be prompt for appointments and in the execution of tasks. Interns are required to dress and present themselves in a manner suitable for a business environment. Due to the nature of the program, there is an expectation of business casual attire for the fall and spring semesters and standard business attire for Winter Term.
In order to participate in the program and work with Senior Staff members, Executive Interns must demonstrate the ability to maintain strict confidentiality. Interns are required to sign a confidentiality agreement.
