The old maxim the early bird gets the worm also still
holds true in our economy today. If you want an
internship or a job this summer the smart thing to do
is start your search now. If you wait until your
semester finishes in April or May you will find that
many of the internships, jobs and even volunteer
positions will be taken.
Get started with your research, filling out
applications, getting copies of your transcripts,
updating your resumes and preparing your references
now.
Here are a few resources to help you get started with
your research:

Volunteer Opportunities is online at
