Finding an Internship site It is your responsibility to locate an internship site but Professor Mark is here to help! Consider your career interests in choosing a site Start early; background investigations can take months to complete!

Finding an Internship site There is a list of approved internship sites in the Handbook If you want to intern at a location not listed, you must secure our approval BEFORE you apply for the internship Send us the agency name and contact information and we will let you know if it is an acceptable site.

Enrollment Once you have secured an internship and have sent in the necessary forms, Dr. Vogel will issue you a permit to register for 492. You must then register for the class; the permit does not register you! You will be assigned to a specific faculty member to whom you will submit your work and who will assign your grades for CRJU492 or 491.

Internship Details Objectives Behavior Professionalism Dress Sexual Harassment

Objectives Gain firsthand knowledge of the organization and the political, social, and/or community forces that influence its structure and procedures. Connect what you see and learn at the site with what you learned in class. Determine whether or not you would like to work in this area!

Behave yourselves! You represent the School and the University! Dress, speak, and behave like adults! Be on time! Ask your site supervisor about the norms of the agency and then go above and beyond! If you goof around, then you will damage the relationships we have with internship sites so no goofing around!

Be Professional! Confidentiality – Do not reveal the identity of clients or any information that would uncover their identity without written permission form the client. Competency – Know and acknowledge the limitations of your abilities to assist clients/the public. Accept that some situations are beyond your experience so seek assistance from your site supervisor and/or staff personnel.

Be Professional! Corruption – Interns must not become involved in any illegal operations, activities, or any violation of laws. Respect Clients - Interns are obligated to treat all clients with dignity, respect, and equality. Integrity - You may see unethical or illegal activities as you intern; they may be realities in the organization, but you should not condone or accept them.

Be Professional! Misconduct – As an Intern you have an obligation to avoid misconduct. You may encounter ethical gray areas which present conduct dilemmas such as: Acceptance of free or discounted meals Receipt of merchandise at a discount rate Acceptance of gifts Use of confidential information for private gain or to impress peers Accessing mail, e-mail, copiers, computers, and other services for personal use

Be Professional! Interpersonal Relationships – it is unethical for interns to become sexually or romantically involved with organization employees and/or clients during the duration of the internship experience.

Be Professional! If you don’t know what the right thing to do is, ask yourself these questions: Are my actions legal? Am I being fair and honest? What would my mom and dad say? How will I feel about myself afterwards?

Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment includes: Demanding sexual consideration in exchange for a job benefit Making unwelcome sexual advances including pressure for dates, stalking, love letters, or phone calls Creating a hostile work environment that includes pranks, jokes, or comments of a sexual nature, or allowing sexually explicit posters and magazines to be kept in general work areas. Sexual harassment is illegal! You should contact your site supervisor, your internship professor, and/or the internship coordinator immediately if you witness or are the victim of sexual harassment

Internship Credit Requirements While at your internship site, you are a student first and a “worker” second!
