RECENT INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

 

PLEASE READ:

Due to the eventual closing of Geocities (October 26th, 2009), we have moved our internships page.

 

Palmer’s NEW Recent Internship Opportunities page can be found at:

 

http://palmerinternships.blogspot.com

 

Note:  This listing of internship opportunities has been developed from many sources with some sites having previously hosted Palmer students, but not all.  Many sites on this list – especially under the Rare Books and Special Collections heading – have not formally listed an internship offering with Palmer.  Please bear in mind that all internships need to get formal written approval prior to a student beginning the internship.
