Internship Program Notice
Several of the core programs associated with the Career Development Internship Program have been temporarily suspended due to the lack of funding and personnel needed to run the programs. Several of the programs have continued, though via different service delivery approaches. We will assist with all requests – the disposition may be a referral or we may be able to provide direct service.
Several key internship-related services/programs will remain in place; they are:
Internship postings on Career Navigator
Employer assistance to post internships on Career Navigator
Internship opportunities represented at the Career Fairs
Internship requests - referrals to academic departments
Internship exploration via Career Counseling
Internship résumé assistance via Career Opportunities
Fair Labor Standards Act information dissemination
The following Internship Program services/programs have been suspended:
For the suspended activities, students and employers will be referred to the academic areas which most closely relate to their needs.
Career Development regrets the inconvenience these changes create. We recognize that students, faculty and employers have relied upon Career Development to provide the above suspended services and we hope we will soon be able to do so again, in the near future. Below is a list of "Internship Coordinators" by academic areas. This list is not complete and changes frequently. Contacting the departments or colleges directly may prove to be a viable alternative (see link below).
Please do not hesitate to contact us. If we can assist, we will. If can't assist, we will refer you to the next best resource. Again – we apologize for any inconvenience.
"The University of Nevada changed my life in ways that you'll never find listed in the literature the admissions office sends to prospective students... ...my life wasn't changed by the buildings, or the beautiful old quad, or even the classes that I took. Just two classes short of a degree, I stopped by Gilleland's (professor and advisor) office one day in the summer of 1977 to talk about an internship. I've been thinking, he said. You're a pretty good writer. You should try interning at a newspaper. It'll do you good even if you never work for a paper. Sure, I replied with little enthusiasm. It (the internship) seemed like a small thing at the time -- I would spend a couple of months working once a week at a small weekly in Gardnerville -- but the result was momentous. A guy whose goal for years had been nothing more than to spin records on a radio station had found a profession -- some would say, a calling."
