Introduction from Program Director

An internship is the integration of theory and practice; an opportunity for you to take what you have learned in your courses and to use this knowledge in more practical ways at an organization of your choosing. The internship experience can be one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of your graduate program. This is the time when you have an opportunity to enhance your technical skills, experiment with a variety of authority relationships, and in some instances you might have an opportunity to work with others to achieve a common organizational goal. As you begin thinking about your experience as an intern, be aware that the faculty and staff in the Leadership Studies Program are available to support you, so please do not hesitate to ask. We look forward to helping you apply your learning of theory with real world experiences.
