Faculty Sponsors
Internships in Chemistry
You must arrange for a faculty sponsor prior to submitting your application.
How and When to Choose a Faculty Sponsor
In order to receive academic credit you are required to arrange for an appropriate faculty member to supervise the internship. Faculty members should be chosen after you have decided on the type of internship to be undertaken and, if possible, the sorts of issues with which you will be dealing Since the Academic Standards Committee requires would-be interns to obtain a faculty member's signature on the application form prior to submission, students will find they usually do not know where they will be interning and cannot, therefore, predict which faculty member is most likely to have expertise in the areas covered by their internship.
Changing Faculty Sponsor
If for any reason you secure a faculty sponsor who turns out to be inappropriate or unable to complete their duties, ask him/her or the faculty chair to suggest someone else you might approach if you do not have an alternative sponsor in mind.
