Dear Faculty and Staff,
At OWU, we believe that every student deserves access to valuable internship and research opportunities that can propel them toward a successful future. That’s why we are proud to introduce the Bishop Elevate Internship Program — a program designed exclusively for first-generation students. The Bishop Elevate Internship Program makes it possible for offices and departments facing budget constraints to create valuable internship experiences for first-generation students.
For Spring 2024, Bishop Elevate is sponsoring one-time micro-internship opportunities for first-generation students. Micro-internships are short-term, paid, project-based assignments. In February 2024, applications will open again for the 2024-2025 Bishop Elevate Internship Program, alongside StAP and Legacy Internship Programs.
The Bishop Elevate Internship Program allows students to work a maximum of 8 hours per week for 15 weeks. Students are paid at a rate of $10.75/hour.
You can propose an internship position for Spring 2024 at: bit.ly/BishopElevateInternshipProposal. Proposals will be accepted until Wednesday, Oct. 25 at Noon. Learn more about the Bishop Elevate Internship Program at bit.ly/BishopElevateInternships.
