Internships
The Center for Multicultural and Gender Studies is strongly committed to helping students become responsible and responsive citizens of their communities, countries, and world.
To that end, we require all majors and minors to fulfill a three-unit service/activism internship in which they put to use what they’ve learned about diversity and social justice.
Students may do their internship fieldwork (120-135 hours, depending on the type of internship) in such campus organizations as the AS Women’s Center, Community Legal Information Center (CLIC), Campus Wellness Center, and MEChA.
There are also many off-campus sites, such as high school mentoring programs, Planned Parenthood, Rape Crisis, Four-Winds Charter School, and The League of Women Voters.
These internships are letter-graded and thus require close work with a faculty advisor/supervisor and written research/reflection papers.
For advising and to enroll, students must meet with the MCGS Internship Coordinator, Elizabeth Renfro.
