Welcome to your internship!

Welcome to your internship blog!  I hope it is with excitement that you begin this experience.  Throughout the semester, about every two weeks, I plan to post questions here that we will discuss. 

First, please introduce yourself, include who you are, where you are interning, why you chose to do an internship...  anything else you want us to know.

What are your goals for the internship?

Internship defined:  An internship is typically a one-time work or services experience related to a student's major or career goal.  The internship plan generally involved students working in professional settings under the supervision and monitoring of practicing professionals.   Internships can be paid or unpaid, and the student may or may not receive academic credit for performing the internship.

Does this definition apply to your experience?  discuss.


And a housekeeping note, please create a new post with each entry, not using the comment section on what others say.  It is possible in your profile settings to receive an email each time a post is made to this blog (I do this!).  It keeps you engaged without having to remember to check all the time.
