Ireland Internship

Internship Opportunity

Below is a letter from Dr. Skinner about an Ireland internship opportunity.

Dear Students-

We have a wonderful opportunity next summer for UAB students to participate in an internship experience in Dublin, Ireland.  The program is 7 weeks long, from June 14th to July 31st.  Students will be matched with organizations in Ireland that can best optimize their skill sets, experience, and career goals.  All students who are accepted into the program will be guaranteed a placement.

We are having an informational meeting on Thursday, December 3rd at 3:30 in room 320 in the BEC.  If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please plan on attending.

I am attaching a flyer for the program.  The cost have changed from what is on the flier (they have gone DOWN, yay)!!  I am also attaching the link for the program through the study away office.  http://www.studyabroad.app.uab.edu/countries.asp?program=80&country=21.

Hope you can make it on Thursday. Please pass on to any friends that might be interested.

Thanks-
