Whats the difference between an unpaid internship and a volunteer appointment?
While an unpaid internship and serving a volunteer appointment may seem like the same thing, they are actually VERY different and students should carefully consider the best appointment type for their situation. Don’t just select the “easiest” option presented to you. Discuss the appointment type differences with our Office of Academic Services and then review your individual situation and preferences. INTERNSHIP: An internship is an academic appointment. An internship is a prearranged learning experience with both the intern and Institution benefiting from the endeavor. Internships have an element of educational training built into the appointment and this training should complement the education and career goals of the intern. Internships have a formal start date and end date and generally last less than one year. To serve an internship individuals should either be currently enrolled in school or graduated within 6 months of applying for the internship or plan to return to school wit
