Come SIP on delicious drinks while listening to students speak about their internship experiences in Finance, Marketing, Accounting and MIS. Companies the student speakers have interned at and will be speaking about include JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Accenture, Washington Mutual and more! Afterwards, you may ask the speakers any questions you have.

Students will discuss: how they received their internship, how to interview successfully, the projects/tasks/responsibilities they had, the advantages/disadvantages of their internship and more.

This insightful and specific advice will help you find a winning internship that best aligns with your personality and goals.

With registration for next semester coming up in a few weeks, let me tell you about an exciting internship course.

Are you thinking about whether graduate school is in your future? Are you uncertain about what it would be like to be a graduate student and what academic program may be suited best to your interests and career goals?

If your answer to these questions is yes, you may wish to consider undertaking the Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) “Pre-Graduate School Internship.” This internship is open to students in all UT colleges/schools and departments. You may earn one, two or three hours of academic credit (CMS 164M/264M/364M) by participating in the internship.

Attached is a flyer describing the Pre-Graduate School Internship. In addition, you may read more about this program (including FAQ’s, examples of internship activities and an easy to complete internship contract) on the web:

NOTE: Because of the generosity of several UT deans, undergraduates who do their pre-grad internship in programs in the following colleges will be eligible to receive travel grants to help cover part of the cost of attending an academic conference (with their grad mentor)— Law, Public Affairs, Communication, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Pharmacy, Business, Social Work, Education, Natural Sciences, Fine Arts.
