Intern for a Day


Intern for a Day connects undergraduates with alumni, parents, employers and community partners for one day internship/shadowing experiences.  This fall, we have 200+ hosts with 550+ possible shadowing placements in a wide variety of fields and industries!
In order to be considered as an intern, students must attend a short, 30-minute orientation session which covers the application process, workplace etiquette, appropriate dress, professional correspondence and more.  There are eight (8) orientation sessions available to attend from October 3-October 6, 2016.  

Please click on the date and time of the orientation session that works best with your schedule to RSVP.   All orientations take place in the University Career Center & The President's Promise (3100 Hornbake Library, South Wing).

Fall 2016 Intern for a Day Orientation options are: 
Students will receive the internship application via email after attending their orientation session.  Students who have previously participated in Intern for a Day also need to attend an orientation session.  

The Intern for a Day application deadline is Sunday, October 9 at 11:59 p.m.

Most questions about the Intern for a Day program will be addressed during the mandatory orientation or at go.umd.edu/InternForADay   For immediate questions, contact ifad@umd.edu.
