Internships hold an academic nature, undertaken for academic credit, setting them apart from regular employment. They are essential for students as they build a learning network, beginning with faculty advisors and internship supervisors, often the same person. The network extends to include Penn State Greater Allegheny's internship coordinator, campus registrar, and the workplace supervisor at the host site.
As faculty, instructors, or advisors of student internships, your responsibility is to engage students with questions and feedback, helping them connect the internship experience with their academic studies.
