  • Prior to final approval of the internship, identify 3-5 learning objectives and email them to the internship coordinator (rfphillips@bsu.edu). The purpose of this exercise is to help the student to assess whether or not, and to what extent, the proposed internship is able to meet their career/educational goals.
