Description of the Bonner Senior Intern

The Senior Internship is a position available to a member of the senior Bonner class who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Bonner Scholars Program and an interest in programming.

This position should serve as the Bonner’s main service site. It is suggested that s/he dedicate all ten hours to the internship, which is counted as direct service. The Senior Intern should be allowed a fair amount of autonomy, taking responsibility for projects such as event planning or creating publications. Experienced directors and coordinators suggest that the position be tailored to the intern’s individual strengths and interests.

Ultimately, the internship should give the student a chance to manage him or herself while receiving significant guidance from the director/coordinator.

The internship should serve as an educational experience for the Bonner, preparing him/her for life after college, and it should assist the director/coordinator by providing extra programmatic support.
