Via Kathy Tuberville, Office of Academic Internships:

Good morning all,

We have an excellent opportunity to engage our students in the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in their efforts to work with real-world, start-up companies.  The experience that our students can gain through these opportunities is invaluable.

Kelly Penwell has developed a comprehensive listing which provides opportunities for almost all of the FCBE majors.  Please route to your students and student organizational lists.  Students should seek academic credit through the Spring 2 term and should meet with the advising office as soon as possible to determine if they are eligible for academic credit in FCBE.  If not eligible due to gpa or total achieved hours, they can apply for UNIV 4000 for elective credit.

As many of you know, we are constantly trying to incorporate more opportunities for students as well as provide linkages to our students of the new opportunities.  Your assistance is greatly needed to help communicate these valuable opportunities as you work with students.

Faculty, I also have a portfolio template for use in final projects including a structured learning goals format.  If you are interested, please let me know and I’ll be glad to assist.  The learning goals can be enhanced with the faculty advisor after registration if timing is limited.  The more we link the student experiences in the workplace to their academic journey, the more valuable the experience for both the student and the employer.
