Tanenbaum Family Award:
Summer Internship, 2008
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....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.
