The Professional Internship Program (PIP)

The Professional Intern Program (PIP) was developed to train outstanding student employees through a two-credit educational leadership class. The class emphasizes leadership styles, management, and decision-making skills. A semester long project is required to pass the class. Many of the successful projects are implemented into the Union operations.

A nomination from a supervisor or manager is needed to join the PIP class. If you feel you are a qualified candidate for this opportunity please talk to your supervisor about enrollment. Applicant must submit a letter of intent along with a current resume. This class can only be added to your schedule via a drop/add form. There are about 20 openings per year and the class is held during the fall semester.

Students who complete the PIP class with a B or higher are eligible for a raise and gain management positions in their area within the Unions. The PIP students are student managers and have a higher level of responsibility in their unit.
