Hello Everyone!

Dr. Bay provided us with the instructions for applying to English 488: Internship in Professional Writing:

First use the internship website to confirm your eligibility:
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~jbay/intern/

Once you’ve thought over what type of internship you’d like to do, complete the application form available here:
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~jbay/intern/488application.doc

Send an e-mail to Dr. Bay (jbay@purdue.edu) containing both the application and your most recent resume.  She’ll set up a time with you to discuss your options, review your resume, and prepare for a preliminary interview.  Be sure to see her prior to registration as she heavily emphasized that an override is necessary in order to register for the course.

If you have any questions about the process feel free to contact Dr. Bay.

Good luck!
