A New Year—Time For an Internship!

It is never too early or too late to start looking for an internship.The Career Services Internship webpage now hosts a large number of listings of local and abroad internship opportunities you can explore.  Check it out at www.sbc.edu/career-services/internships. Seeking academic credit for your internship?  All Internship for Academic Credit forms must be completed and turned into Career Services by the appropriate deadlines.
