Angelina is passionate about working with children. Her Psychology coursework in adolescent development becomes applied insight in her summer research project. With guidance from her faculty mentor, Dr. Kiren Kahn, Angelina seamlessly integrates her classroom learning into a meaningful real-world project while making a difference in the Memphis community.
Thanks to the fact that each year 75 percent of ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV students complete internships throughout Memphis, the college considers the city an extension of the campus. Students apply their classroom knowledge to such areas as business, finance, health care, or nonprofits and in return, gain real-world experience from top-notch mentors.
ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV also helps students connect with internships across the country and even overseas. Our students have worked for the U.S. Department of Commerce in France and Croatia, taught English through nonprofit organizations in Cambodia, and helped a U.S. firm set up operations in China.
Alumni, who are active members of the ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV community, provide some of our best internship opportunities. They often serve as internship sponsors and mentors, and help students build a network of professional contacts. We have ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV alumni chapters across the country in cities such as Chicago, Houston, New York, New Orleans, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
What follows is a sampling of recent student opportunities:
ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV Student Associate Program (RSAP)
The ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV Student Associate Program (RSAP) connects students to stimulating and important campus employment through which they can take on challenging projects and start exploring different career interests. At last count, there were 100+ RSAP positions available in more than 40 different offices and departments — and more are being added all the time. Students who are selected for RSAP positions can earn up to $4,500 a year.
