Get Paid To Do An Internship; Apply Today
Wouldn't it be GREAT if you could get paid to do an internship?
You may be able to do just that because of a grant awarded to Augsburg College. The Career Ready Internship grant from Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation provides funds to colleges and universities so that they can partner with businesses and nonprofits to develop new paid internships, and convert existing unpaid internships into paid opportunities. This program serves juniors and seniors who receive financial aid, improving their odds of graduating and preparing them to enter the workforce with real-world experience in their fields of study.
To be eligible:
* Students must be in good academic standing (2.0+ GPA)
* Students must be a college junior or senior (60 credits completed) at the time of the internship
* Students must be eligible for financial aid (work study)
* The internship must be related to your major or career aspirations
* Accepting applications NOW for Fall 2016 and Spring 2017.
Act now! Priority consideration is given to students who complete the short Augsburg application, so we recommend you complete it soon.

Grad Faculty Workshop May 4
The Grad Council has been discussing ways to engage the campus more generally in conversations around graduate teaching and program support. The current campus conversations around the university question have contributed to our discussion. In December, there was a joint meeting of the Grad Council and the GAAC to talk about common issues. At that meeting both groups expressed support for more activities that would bring all faculty members who teach graduate courses together for further work that advances our programs.
Toward that end, on May 4 there will be a graduate faculty workshop in the Marshall Room. The day will start about 9 a.m. and will go through lunch -- finishing about 1 p.m. There will be another email to follow that has more details regarding the topics and agenda, but for now, we are asking faculty from all graduate programs to mark their calendars and plan to join us that day.
Please contact Jolee Lilja, the MAL Program Coordinator if you can attend (liljaj@augsburg.edu). If you have questions, please contact your graduate program director.
