Finding a Faculty Internship Sponsor
Contact a communication faculty member from the list below to find out if he or she can sponsor you and what you will be required to submit academically. Meanwhile, find your internship. Ask your supervisor at the internship site to fill out the middle section of an Internship Agreement Form. Then take the form to your faculty sponsor to fill in the bottom of the form. Once the form is complete, bring it to a communication advisor to be registered for internship credit in COMM 1900.
