Internship Application Deadlines 9/28/2009

Everyone knows business internships are extremely valuable experiences, but now they are more important than ever! The state of the economy has negatively impacted the job market, so more graduates are competing for fewer positions. Having internship experience gives job candidates an edge in the competition.

The competition for business internships is tougher now as well. Students should apply for sponsorship from the CLE as soon as possible if they plan to complete an internship during the spring 2010 semester.

Spring 2010 Internship Application Deadlines:

Friday, November 13th -- Students seeking assistance from CLE
Friday, January 29th -- Students who have found internships on their own

Julie Reiser joined the PCP faculty in July. A Utah native, she has resided in Baltimore while working on her Ph.D. at Hopkins. She taught two sections of Technical Communication during the fall 2007 semester, and will be adding a section of Oral Presentations to her line-up for spring 2008.

Eric Vohr is the newest faculty member to join the PCP. Initially slated to start teaching in spring 2008, he was able to jump in and take over a Technical Communication class, after the original professor, Nick Allocca, suddenly passed away. Eric brings much teaching, reporting, and writing experience to the CLE.

Eric Rice and Leslie Kendrick have both gone from teaching part time for the CLE to becoming full time lecturers and now have offices on campus. Eric will continue to teach in both PCP and E&M. Leslie will continue teaching our Marketing courses, and takes on the added role of Internship Coordinator for the Whiting School of Engineering.
