Internships come in many forms. Some are paid
and some are non-paid positions. They may last a
month or up to two years. Internships can be
full-time or part-time. During part-time
internships, students may also take classes.
Internships foster self-confidence and
professionalism, enable students to make
important contacts in the business world, and
allow companies to get a good look at potential
employees.
Career Services can help students identify
resources to find an internship. Staff can
assist in understanding the internship process
at LHU. Office staff also can help develop the
tools for getting an internship, such as the
cover letter and resume, and preparing for an
interview. Contact Anita Casper,
internship Coordinator by email
acasper@lhup.edu, telephone 570-484-2247 or
stop in the office, Akeley 114.

How
many students have the opportunity to spend
a summer with a professional sports team?
Not many, but between May and August of
2009, Danielle Burkhart spent the majority
of her time with the Pittsburgh Pirates
Organization, specifically the Pirate’s
In-Game Entertainment Department.
