Do you know a Coug who recently completed an internship or is currently engaging in one?
While internships happen year-round, we know summer is a popular time for many Cougs to engage in this high-impact practice. Ahead of National Intern Day this year (July 30), weâre launching a campaign to encourage Cougs to share their internship story and we invite you to share this opportunity with Cougs you know!
Cougs can share their experiences in a variety of ways â whether itâs submitting a written highlight to be featured on our Academic Success and Career Center website or sharing about their experience on LinkedIn. Plus, weâre giving out some fun Coug giveaways!
More information, including submission guidelines and ideas, can be found on our National Intern Day blog post.
We also encourage Cougs to join the #CougsIntern conversation year-round. Sharing internship experiences helps inspire fellow students, highlights valuable career development opportunities, and showcases the incredible impact Cougs are making across industries and communities.
Thank you for helping us celebrate the achievements of our amazing Cougs!
