The internship offers Elon juniors and seniors a firsthand look at the inner workings of the university during Winter Term.
Seven students have started their Winter Term assignments in departments across Elon University as part of an immersive learning opportunity for highly motivated juniors and seniors interested in working closely with senior staff and key stakeholders.
The Executive Internship program, offered through the Office of the President, develops leadership and project management skills while leveraging undergraduate experiences to help the university and various departments achieve goals related to the Boldly Elon Strategic Plan.
The program is a year-round professional experience. Interns attend fall meetings where they are introduced to their department placements and senior leadership advisors before developing their projects. During this time, they become familiar with their peers and how key leadership areas of Elon operate.
During Winter Term, students work full-time in their departments, including Admissions, University Communications, University Advancement and the Office of the Provost.
In the spring, interns reflect on their experiences and can expect to continue attending key university meetings and helping recruit new Executive Interns for the following academic year. Current interns will provide support by participating in and facilitating both the application and interview process.
