The Presidential Internship in Higher Education is designed to give undergraduate students from diverse fields and backgrounds the opportunity to interact with the University administration, and learn about leadership and issues in higher education.  In turn, the University administration benefits by seeing and experiencing the student perspective.  A Presidential Intern is a paid, part-time employee whose main office duties include working as part of an intern cohort to provide project support to administrators.

Additionally, Presidential Interns have the opportunity of assisting President and Mrs. Young and members of his staff at various campus events.  Interns will also be involved in planning and attending an academic-year-long seminar program designed to examine higher education issues and leadership through readings, discussion and meetings with University and community leaders.

The Presidential Internship in Higher Education program is looking for a small, diverse group of individuals who will represent the University of Utah well among its constituents, are interested in learning more about higher education issues and challenges in the state and nation, are committed to serving the University community, and will contribute to projects as assigned by administrators.
