INTERNSHIPS
Notes and Information from Tracy
Rothwell J
------------------------------------------------------------
There is
now an e-mail list that you can join to receive updates about internships. If
you are interested in signing up for the list go to https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/che-internship-info I
will be sending e-mails when I update the website so you will know when there
is new internship information available.
Since the number of new internship postings
is slowing down, I wanted to make sure you were all aware of the careers
center’s summer jobs listings. You can find summer job postings at
http://oregonstate.erecruiting.com/stu/home. At the bottom of the page there are links to
summer jobs and student jobs on and off campus. Some of these jobs (especially
the student on-campus positions) are for lab technicians so they could be a
good work experience. So check out the openings if you are still looking for
work this summer.

OREGON ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL
The timeline is tight and
the work very rewarding and can be done remotely. We are estimating
around 100-150 hours or so would need to be put into this project. The position
will report to me and I would appreciate resumes and a cover letter sent to me
electronically no later than June 7th.
