Virtual Internships

The Virtual Team Internship Program (for-credit) is available to undergraduate and graduate (both domestic and international) students who wish to pursue a virtual team internship linked to their major/program of study. The virtual internship experience will be uniquely designed by the IC for each student team.

The Innovation Center joined forces with the Center for Career and Professional Development to help shift the Jaggar Community Fellows Program to a virtual format. As a result, 44 students were placed in 11 nonprofits for 10 week project team virtual internships during the summer of 2020.

This program provided me an opportunity to work with a bright and diverse team besides adding a valuable professional experience beyond what I would normally be able to experience inside a classroom setting.
