Also, be advised that current students are not eligible for the internship course until you have completed two semesters of MSMR coursework.  So, although students in their first semester are eligible to apply for these positions, you cannot receive academic credit for them (MARK 5396/5397) until you have completed the required coursework.

If you are able to secure a position based on an opportunity I share with you, I request that you make a donation to the Stacy Akinyemi Memorial Scholarship.  All donations are appreciated, whether you get a position from these opportunities or not, but I would kindly request that you consider making a donation of $50 for any internship position and a donation of $100 for any full-time position obtained.  Your donation will honor the memory of Stacy AND help students in the years to come.
