"Build Your Own" Internship

You must be an enrolled Dartmouth College undergraduate on a registered leave term, and must be returning to Dartmouth for at least one term after completing the internship. If you withdraw from the College for any reason (in good standing or not), you will not be eligible for Dickey Center funding during the terms in which you are withdrawn. If you are accepted for a Dickey Center internship in a given term but withdraw from the College during that term, you must contact the Dickey Center immediately. See the College webpage on withdrawals for more information. 

Returning interns agree to participate in workshops or informational sessions related to internships. Following completion of the internship, you are required to submit a 3-5 page report describing not only the kind of work done, but also something about the organizational host, the people with whom the intern worked, and how the experience was meaningful.
