The summer internship program matches students with organizations in Springfield that have a community-focused mission to provide them with an opportunity to further their goals. Students donate time through civic engagement courses, community service, community-based internships, research, federal work study, student teaching and co-curricular activities, the university stated in a release.
The internship, which lasts eight weeks, includes a weekly reflection session for interns and community leaders and concludes with a video presentation and reception where outcomes are shared with community members.
“Students who complete the internship program report having applied their classroom knowledge, making a difference in the community, and/or developing professional skills needed for a career,” Creasap said.
The Hagen Center, established in 2008, helps connect the university and the Springfield area through service, internships, research and engaged teaching and learning. It is currently seeking internship proposals from local organizations with a community-focused mission. Interested organizations can contact Creasap at creasapk@wittenberg.edu for more details. All proposals are due by Feb. 4.
