Page 2 THE EMPATH Wednesday, December 7, 1983 In te rn sh ip s How To Apply by Roberta Kaskel 1. What is an off-campus internship? An internship is a semester long work experience taken for academic credit. 2. Who is eligible to serve as an intern? Any student who has progressed through at least the first semester of his / her junior year. 3. What are the advantages of being an intern? You gain valuable job experience, you have an opportunity to reality test a possible career field, you gain preparation for graduate or professional school, and you establish contacts in the work world. 4. Where do students serve as interns? Student interns are found in places as traditional as a law office and as nontraditional as the studio of a professional weaver. They serve in locations as close to the college as Lexington Park and as far away as the Panama Canal Zone. 5. How is it determined where a student will intern? Once a student has initiated an internship application the student will work with the program director to conduct a personal career assessment, and then explore the various internship possibilities. The Internship Director will nominate interns to appropriate internship sites. 6. Can a student do an internship outside his/her major? Yes, the college encourages interdisciplinary internships. An example of this might be an English major interning in a law office or a biology major interning at a newspaper. 7. How does a student become an intern? You must make application to the Internship Director, Roberta Kaskel, in AA 101. 8. What is the deadline to apply for spring, 1984 internships? October 3, 1983. 9. Do I have to know where I want to intern before I make an application? No, the Internship Director can help you explore your options and initiate contacts. Hospital Intern by Gregg E. Smith Choosing a career path is a very arduous task for some. Personally, I have been interested in about 10 different fields and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Fortunately, we have an internship program at St. Mary’s that can give a student experience in a working environment. Internships also allow the student to explore different career opportunities within their own work setting. Since September, I have been on internship at Calvert Memorial Hospital in Prince Frederick, Maryland. Though I had no idea what I wanted to do “when I grew up,” I knew it was in the health field. At C.M.H. I have been exposed to many different facets of a health care facility. My main role in the hospital was working for the assistant administrator of the hospital. My duties included screening applications, understanding the entire employment process and understanding benefit administration. I also participated in a semester long manager’s workshop, with all the department heads of the hospital. Coinciding with the workshop was my independent project, on patient satisfaction in the Emergency Department. Though I was mostly in the personnel office draped in suit and tie, I was also seen in surgical scrubs in the operating room. This was by far the most interesting event that I participated in. I saw five different operations including knee surgery and a skin graph. Among the other things that I took an active part in included an autopsy with the lab department, physical therapy, many various emergencies in the Emergency Department, (Continued on Page 8) H ie v u j C f fu d tn u id and Happy Hm fjean from DAVE, WAYNE AND MARY COOK’S LIQUORS Park Hall, Md. Roberta Kaskel, Internship Director Photo by Karin Corea Government Intern Stuart McHenry I have been asked to write an article about my internship by this paper’s editor-in-chief Mary Stakem. I guess I should begin with the experience I had last spring applying for the internship. When I decided I wanted an internship it was almost too late. If it wasn’t for the deadline being moved back a month, I would have been unable to begin the application process. If anyone is interested in an internship, make up your mind to apply early in the semester prior to the semester you want to intern. There are more applicants for spring interns than fall interns, so if some of you are interested in getting credit for work experience, but feel you may not qualify because of grades or other reasons, you might want to consider applying for a fall internship. I’m working as an intern for St. Mary’s County Housing Authority and the Department of Economic and Community Development. I ’m an assistant to Joe Mitchell who heads these departments. It has been interesting up to this point to see first-hand how local bureaucracy works. Joe is a very intelligent and knowledgeable man and I have learned a great deal working under his supervision. Attending various county meetings, working on economic development projects, as well as obtaining experience in a professional office setting has been worthwhile and interesting. Right now we are in the mid-point of the semester. I feel as though I have learned most of what I set out to learn. Now I ’m beginning to get restless about graduating this December and finding a job. I’m in the process of putting my affairs in order and finding new enthusiasm to finish a successful internship. As most of you are probably aware, interns are not allowed to get paid, and in fact, pay to work due to tuition costs. I ’m sure many of you fellow students are as strapped for cash as I am. So you might be able to imagine that enduring travel expenses while putting in forty unpaid hours a week gives you little incentive to continue. I hope that in the near future the college stops restricting internship sites from giving interns some financial help. One incentive the internship program gives interns is a chance for interns to find employment at their sites after graduation. Unfortunately for me, the county government does not have much opportunity for employment. However, some employers like the program because it gives them a chance to look at individuals before hiring them. Another incentive for completing an internship is the letter of recommendation for future jobs that your site supervisor will hopefully give you. Regardless of the incentives, I try to live by the philosophy that one should do well in whatever he or she is doing regardless of pay or any other incentive. So I ’m sure my internship will be completed and successfully as I ’m sure many of you will have successful internships in the future.

The King of France Tavern, located in the basement of the Maryland Inn Hotel in downtown Annapolis, offers a unique, intimate listening opportunity, showcasing many of today’s foremost jazz musicians. Just a few of the acts appearing at the King of France Tavern over Christmas vacation are: jazz, blues, and pop vocalist Ethel Ennis (December 21-25 and December 28 - January 1), world famous jazz guitarist Charlie Byrd and his trio (January 11 - 15), and pianist John Coates, Jr. (January 18 - 22). Certainly, anyone in or near the Annapolis area over vacation should try to take advantage of this excellent entertainment opportunity.
