As a result, students in the fields of science, engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine, business, and law develop essential skills different from those attained in academia, which will help them make the transition from being a graduate student to a professional. We are pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for our 2003 program. This year, the internship program will comprise three sessions: Winter: January 13 through April 4 (12 weeks with a possible 4 week extension) Summer: June 2 through August 8 (10 weeks) Fall: September 8 through November 26 (12 weeks). To apply, candidates should submit an application and request their mentor fill out a reference form. Both are available on the Web at November 1 for the Winter program, March 1 for the Summer program, and June 1 for the Fall program. Candidates may apply to all three programs simultaneously. Additional details about the program and how to join our mailing list are also available on the Web site.
