2010 Strut Your Stuff Internship Fair

Requirements

The purpose of the internship showcase is to let other students on campus know about the phenomenal experiences available to them through interning and to get them interested and excited about participating in an internship. All participants must complete the internship application, including a summary of the internship experience and how the participant will attract the attention of other students with their display table. After submitting the application, selected entrants will be expected to prepare a table display for an open house to be held on Friday, April 2, 2010 in the WSC Central Ballroom. Participants will be provided with a 6’ table in a booth with a tablecloth, and each booth will have access to electrical outlets. The display could consist of photographs, posters, collateral material, video/computer presentations, cultural items, journals, company logos, artwork, notebooks/info binders, etc. Each applicant is responsible for providing their own media materials (i.e. computers, projectors, posters). More details about the display portion of the contest including examples of past displays can be found online at www.byu.edu/intern. Application does not guarantee participation in the display portion. You will receive an email by Friday, March 12th, 2010 if you are selected to participate.
