Some more info for folks on the fence. I called UMASS office because it wasn't clear to me if interns needed pay or not. Here's what I was told: - the fair is for liberal arts majors with an IT minor - interships are 3, 6, or 9 month terms - if internship has appropriate focus, students get academic credit - if student can get academic credit, they may take a non-paid internship - since the IT is a minor, it's possible to get credit for a technical internship - an internship spent answering phones won't get credit. - an internship creating marketing collateral and strategy likely would get credit - it's the first time the career office is doing this for Hidden Tech. So for $25 bucks and four or five hours of time, it seemed like a good investment. You can pay Amy the $25 using PayPal, so it's easy to sign up. Hopefully, we will get a good turnout so hidden-tech will get access to this resource again. m
