Local Internships Program
The EUS program will launch the EUS Local Internship Program in the fall of 2013. The goals of this program are to encourage local involvement and interactions between EUS students and local organizations as well as to help students find and complete internships, providing them with the opportunity to gain transferable skills and to "test out" theoretical ideas in the working world.
Program Overview
An EUS faculty member will teach an practically focused course each semester which meets once weekly. Students enrolled in this course will be required to undertake a local internship during the semester, completing 150 hours of work. Mid-term and final papers evaluating and reflecting on internship experience justifies academic credit. While students are encouraged to find internships that address their specific interests, the EUS administrator will be available to assist them in this process. The EUS department administrator also assist students in securing transportation to their internships. Organizations who have already expressed interest in partnering in this venture include Riverkeeper, Hudsonia, WGXC, The Greenhorns, the City of Kingston, the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, Clearwater, Queen's Galley, Omega Institute, and others.
