For an elective for-credit internship to be successful, all four main participants (the intern, the site supervisor, the faculty sponsor, and CCS itself) must fulfill their responsibilities.

The faculty sponsor has a number of responsibilities, including:

• Helping the student identify what it is that can be learned from a particular internship at this particular stage of the student's academic program
• Assisting the student formulate individual learning goals and expected outcomes
• Shaping the on-going evaluation and the final assessment requirements of the internship
• Monitoring the progress of the internship throughout the internship
• Contacting the site supervisor for feedback ion the intern's performance
• Using the knowledge gained throughout the internship, together with the evaluation completed by the site supervisor, to arrive at a final grade for the student's performance

Faculty questions about these responsibilities or about internships in general can be addressed to the center by phone at 443-3616 or by email.
