Program Components

InternFSU: TLH student participants will:

  3. Complete a written mid-semester self-evaluation. The written evaluation will not be shared with the Supervisor, but Supervisors will hold an in-person mid-semester evaluation meeting.  This meeting presents an opportunity for both Interns and Supervisors to provide structured feedback and recalibrate any project goals or deadlines for the remainder of the semester;
  4. Complete a written final self-evaluation. This written evaluation will not be shared with the Supervisor, but Supervisors will hold an in-person final evaluation meeting. This presents an opportunity for both Intern(s) and Supervisors to recap successes and highlight strengths while providing feedback on areas of improvement for continued professional development;
  5. Complete a brief InternFSU: TLH program evaluation survey at the conclusion of the semester.

EXPERIENCE RECOGNITION PROGRAM (ERP), "INTERNFSU: TLH PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ONLY" OPTION

The Experience Recognition Program (ERP): "InternFSU: TLH program participants ONLY" option is an online course that facilitates eligible FSU degree-seeking students the opportunity to earn transcript notation recognition for engaging in experiential learning opportunities:
