Not Doing An Internship!

If you are not planning to complete an internship this summer, it is very important that you let Dr. Lenze know as soon as possible. You might be planning to complete your program in Media Studies without an internship or you may be planning to complete the internship in Summer 2025. Either way, please let Dr. Lenze know by sending him an email to jlenze@iup.edu.

This is URGENT.

If you are struggling to find an internship or just want to talk about something related to internships, this is a great opportunity to conveniently talk to Dr. Lenze and get help!
It is not too late to find an internship!

Lost Internships

Unfortunately, students in the past have lost internships due to poor decisions in March. Events this weekend are well covered by the media. Students are interviewed and a lot of footage shows a irresponsible and, frankly, stupid behavior. Internship sites see this footage and, in some cases, the interns they have already selected, and reconsider.

On Monday, it is very likely that I will have students in my office telling me they have been notified that their internship site is no longer interested and they have lost the opportunity.

This is avoidable. Public drunkeness and rude behavior are not tolerated by society. Internship sites can cut relationships whenever they choose and do not need to state why. My advice is find a quiet place to spend the weekend either getting ready for an internship already in hand or looking for an internship to secure graduation.

I hope you all have a safe and profitable weekend.

Spring Break!

Spring break is a great time to follow up your applications. Call sites and let them know you in town and available to stop by for an interview. Call companies in your area that you admire and ask them if they have an internship program and how to apply. You can also Google those companies and see if they are advertizing on their websites for interns. Don’t waste spring break! It’s a great time to find an internship!
