It’s not too early for your students to start looking for summer internships. Summer internship recruiting begins as early as the fall and will continue through spring. It’s also never too early in students’ academic careers to begin looking for internships. 37% of internships posted on BroncoLink last year were for freshmen and sophomores.

70% of SCU students have at least 1 internship (SCU Outcomes Survey) and in 2012, 61% of employers made full time offers to their interns (National Association of Colleges and Employers Internship Survey).

We encourage you to let your students know about the following ways to find a summer internship, locally, nationally, and internationally:

• The Career Center’s internship resources online
• Making the Most of the Freshmen/Sophomore Internship Fair (Tuesday, February 19, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., Williman Rm, Benson)
• Freshmen/Sophomore Internship Fair (Monday, February 25, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, CA Mission Room, Benson)
