Internships: The College at Brockport

Resources:

The Office of College Communications offers internship experiences through Career Services and academic departments. Both undergraduate and graduate students may earn three credits, while working one-on-one with a professional staff member on real-world projects. Each internship is directed around the students' career goals. This opportunity is ideal for people who enjoy all aspects of communication.

There are limited spots available each semester and during the summer, so the earlier you contact us for availability, the better your chances are to get an interview.

For more information on available internships, please contact Janet Roy at (585) 395-2267 or jroy@brockport.edu.
