Congratulations on becoming an ISC intern! There are a number of mandatory assignments you must complete for the internship. Students will not receive a grade for ISC 399 until they are completed.
Once you’re added to the ISC 399 Internship course, you will have access to the Canvas course shell and will be able to view the assignments listed. Students will meet via Zoom at least three times during the semester. Specific dates and times will be posted to Canvas.
Student interns are expected to submit hours worked on the Weekly Timesheet, posted to Canvas.
After you have completed 75 hours at your internship, you will be asked to complete a Mid-Semester Report and submit work samples. Specific instructions will be posted in Canvas.
After you have completed 150 hours at your internship, you will be asked to complete an End-of-Semester Report and submit work samples. Specific instructions will be posted in Canvas.
Your faculty advisor will request that the internship site supervisor complete an evaluation of your work. Interns should remind their supervisors to complete the form in a timely manner. No grade for the internship may be entered until the evaluation has been submitted by the supervisor.
You must write a thank you letter to your internship site supervisor. Its purpose is to convey your appreciation of the supervisor's role in your career preparation.
Express your appreciation for the opportunity. Speak specifically about skills and professional traits you gained and point to how these will help you in your career. If appropriate, include a comment or two on how your supervisor went above and beyond in furthering your professional readiness. In your close, if it's appropriate, indicate how you'll maintain future contact with your supervisor.
Use a standard business format for your letter. If you need a visual refresher on format, click here.
By now, you and you and your supervisor should know one another fairly well. So, even though the letter's format is fairly formal, you will likely want to use a conversational tone.
Upload a copy of the thank you letter into Canvas.
NOTE: While a hard copy letter is preferred, if your site supervisor has a preference for email, the letter may be emailed to them as an attachment rather than sent through the postal service.
