Do you work alongside a career services colleague who goes above and beyond for students? Do you advise a student who shined during an internship this year? Do you collaborate with an employer who manages a stellar internship program?
Indiana INTERNnet is saluting achievements in internships and mentoring. Check out this post celebrating last year’s winners.
The IMPACT Awards Luncheon, sponsored by Ivy Tech Community College, is not until February; however, the deadline for nominations is quickly approaching.
