| The Miami University Honors Program provides selected students with this opportunity every summer. |
|
Eligibility |
The program is open to all sophomore and junior Miami students with at least a 3.3 GPA, whether or not they are in the Honors Program. In order to participate, students must agree to complete all aspects of the program, including a Spring term sprint course preparing students for the internship, two intern gatherings in the summer, weekly journal entries during the internship and a final reflection paper.
|
| How It Works |
Each student admitted into the ULIP works with the Coordinator of the program during the Spring semester to design an internship uniquely suited to their goals and interests . Because the program is small, individual attention is assured. Students enhance their internship experience by:
- writing weekly journal entries participating in urban eventsgathering together for reflective discussions
- providing service to an organization working on urban issues
This integration of a professional internship with service in an urban setting distinguishes the program from other internships. Students learn to reflect on their activities and surroundings in an educationally meaningful way. |
