Application Step 6: Letters of Recommendation
Include at least one faculty recommendation with your application. The recommender should be able to assess your personal initiative, motivation and suitability for the internship. Ask the faculty recommender to upload their recommendation using the online form. (Download a SAMPLE here). The recommendation is due by the application deadline April 6, 2016. Therefore be considerate of your recommender’s time and be sure to plan ahead. Preference will be given to students who are able to include an additional letter from their internship organization outlining responsibilities and the availability of supervision/mentorship.
Application Step 7: Letter of Intent from Supervisor (Optional)
It is highly recommended that you have your internship site supervisor provide a letter clearly outlining the duties and responsibilities of your internship and describing the amount of supervision you will receive throughout your internship. Priority will be placed on students who are able to provide a letter of intent from their internship site supervisors. Letters may be submitted with your online application, or after the application deadline by sending them via email to jolken@lclark.edu.
