WHO CAN APPLY? The Class of 2012
WHAT IS AN EXTERNSHIP? A short term (usually 2 day) career shadowing experience
sponsored by a Bucknell alum, parent, or friend of the University.
WHEN DO EXTERNSHIPS TAKE PLACE? During the week of
January 4-8, 2010. (Unless otherwise stated by sponsor or arranged due to student needs.)
WHY SHOULD I APPLY FOR AN EXTERNSHIP? Why not? The program provides
students an opportunity to learn about a career area of their choice during
winter break without the commitment of a full-time, summer-long internship,
and with the guidance of a sponsor excited to be participating in the program!
HOW DO I APPLY? 1) Attend a mandatory Orientation Session (some sessions
were held last spring), 2) have your resume critiqued by the CDC, and 3) utilize
the BRIDGE to submit a resume and statement of interest for up to 6 externships.
~orientation sessions
Attendance at an Orientation Session is required for participation in the program.
In this 30 minute session, attendees will receive an overview of the program,

deadline information. All orientation sessions are held in the LC Gallery Theatre.
