Interns assist with the daily running of ASPIRE and the management of the Clinic's busy front office, along with special projects, events, research efforts, and other tasks that help them to reach their personal and professional development goals.
ASPIRE interns are mentored through one-on-one discussions and collaborative group
meetings. Interns are also connected to a team of faculty, staff, and graduate students
who all help to elevate their internship experience and guide them toward their next
steps.
"I think the key to a rewarding internship experience is a strong, intentional mentorship. ASPIRE takes pride in its dedication to experiential learning opportunities and would not thrive they way we do without our amazing undergraduate intern team."
