Volunteer Service Learning Internship

Decent Essays
Hi Dr. Gardner,

The following is an email that I received yesterday from Julie Ditson , Human Resources Assistant at the Providence Center after inquiring about a 50 hour volunteer service learning internship. What are the requirements and details of the internship that I should include in the cover letter?

I know I may be early in contacting the Providence Center for an internship. I just wanted to get a "jump start" on finding placement.

Sincerely,

Dawn Porter

    This report requested by Michele Bartosek pertains to the Alpha Kappa Psi Career Fair, hosted at Central Michigan University (CMU). While attending my first CMU career fair, I was not actively seeking an internship, but rather gaining experience and building my network. When I walked into Finch Fieldhouse, I did not expect there to be 143 tables worth of future employers, all squeezed into one gym. Although the Alpha Kappa Psi career fair was extremely overwhelming and stressful, it was beneficial to go as a freshman to understand what I can improve on at the next career fair. I understand the importance of many potential employers attending this event at this venue to maximize the opportunity for the students, however having so many people…
