Pathway's Summer 2016 Internship Program with the Office of Research

The Pathways Internship Program is a Summer 2016 internship for current (students have to be enrolled at the time they apply, they have to be enrolled in the term just before the start of the internship, and they have to be enrolled in the term following the internship) undergraduate and graduate students. Interns work directly with a seasoned member of our team to assist in a variety of policy and research projects. We provide the on-the-job training needed to be successful and assign interns to one project to be completed in the twelve week program. Interns build strong relationships with our staff, and can segue into Research Assistant positions in the future.
