Internship Guidelines and Deadlines
- The Internship Agreement Form can be downloaded from the Horticulture
website.
- The student should contact the potential employers directly to apply
for internship opportunities. Different sources are available with organizations,
faculty members, and former interns. A list of available internships is posted
on the Horticulture website. If you are currently working or have worked
for a company before, it is not acceptable to do an internship with that
company; generally, the internship will not be approved.
- If the student has questions about their internship, he/she should
meet with the internship advisor (Hort–Dr. Ted Whitwell; Turfgrass–Dr.
Haibo Liu) to discuss the internship.
- It is the student’s responsibility to get all of the signatures on
the Internship Agreement Form. The form must be signed by the student, employer,
Advisor and Department Chair.
-
You must complete all the information on the Internship Agreement Form, obtain
all signatures, and return the form to Opal Rousey in Room 171 P&AS. After
she receives the form with all signatures, she will register you for the Internship.
All agreement forms must be returned by May 15. NO FORMS will be accepted after
this date. NO EXCEPTIONS!
