Declared English majors who are not graduating in 2008 are eligible to apply for the Tanenbaum Internship. Applicants will be judged by their academic program and record, by the ways in which the proposed internship complements and extends their professional interests, and by financial need. Students are encouraged to identify potential internship opportunities through the UR Office of Career Services, online sites and services, other postings, or the English Department’s internship program. It is not necessary for students to be accepted in an internship program, or to commit at the time of application to a particular internship, but they should have some concrete sense of the internships they wish to pursue, including location, duration, nature of the work / training, compensation or other financial benefits, and connection to academic work and future plans. Applicants should address the ways in which the proposed internship integrates “real world” experience into their UR education, and on the ways in which this experience will enable one to “give back” to the UR, both in terms of interactions with other students back on campus, and in the future as an alum.

Application forms are available at 404 Morey Hall. You may also download a form here, or complete the application online.
