About the Internship

This is a unique opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the 10 dimensions of well-being and about our services that help students develop resilience.

Internships require at least 5 hours per week and run the length of the semester. Through a combination of training and fieldwork, interns will develop skill sets in outreach, advocacy, professionalism, leadership directly related to mental health, stigma reduction and suicide prevention. Students are encouraged to integrate their internship experiences into their academics, research interests and career goals.

During the internship, students will:

  • Learn how to be part of a team of students, faculty and staff
  • Grow their network in campus, community and national contacts and experiences
  • Build relationships and connections across campus
  • Have fun while enhancing personal well-being and that of peers
  • Receive a great recommendation to take with them after the experience
