Extern Program Information

SIUC's Alumni Association in conjunction with COEHS offers students a wonderful opportunity to gain practical experience during spring break through the award-winning Extern Program. COEHS students will be placed in week-long externships during Spring Break (March 8-12, 2010) with companies/agencies/schools in their fields of study. The Alumni Association will host three informational meetings about the program on the second floor of the Student Center on these days:

• Friday, October 2, 6:00 p.m., Mississippi Room
• Tuesday, October 13, 6:00 p.m., Mississippi Room
• Wednesday, October 21, 6:00 p.m., Ohio Room
  

Students do not have to attend one of these informational sessions to apply for the program. Program applications will be available online at www.siualumni.com/extern during the first week of October. The applications must be turned in by Friday, November 20, at 4:00 p.m. to the Alumni Association office on the second floor of the Student Center.

COEHS students will undergo an interview for the program on Wednesday, December 9, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Students will sign up for a 15-minute interview slot when they turn in their application materials.

To apply, students must have a resume in addition to the application and three letters of recommendation. Once students have been selected for the program, they will work with COEHS's Internship Coordinator to secure externships during spring break.
