RESEARCH AND INTERNSHIPS
Although you are really busy this time of
year, I'd like to plant a seed about internships. The value of an
internship is not only the money and experience earned, but also the
connections to what you are learning in the classroom and the doors it
will open to your future. Employers in both the public and private sector
report that internships are the key to good job placement upon graduation.
It's a win-win situation whereby you gain experience and a feel for the
work setting, while employers gauge your skills and aptitudes as a
potential employee.
Keep in
mind that internship applications for Summer 2008 will be due early in the
spring. If you are a current sophomore or junior, think strongly about
your interests and explore some opportunities on line to submit
applications for this Summer. See the Career Services link:

Course Description: This new one credit hour course is designed for
sophomore and junior level engineering students (ALL MAJORS) who have
interest in the aerospace industry. Students will learn about spacecraft
design and control concepts. The course will provide outstanding
preparation for future hands-on experience in the Colorado Space Gant
Consortium projects and/or for a professional internship.

Scholarship
Eligible students are entering sophomores, juniors, or seniors and will be
enrolled fulltime in the fall of 2008. The minimum, cumulative GPA
requirement is 3.0, but you are encouraged to apply if your GPA is close
to the required. Deadline is March 3, 2008. Please apply early as there is
a possibility of a 2008 summer paid internship from one of our donors.

Puksta Scholars
The work of Puksta Scholars will effectively integrate learning in and
outside the classroom resulting in an enhanced and illuminating
educational experience and responsible citizenship. Each scholar must
develop a year long intensive civic engagement project. While doing so,
they are supported by an experienced team of faculty/staff, other scholars
and an enriching program of seminars, speakers, service projects and
opportunities to collaborate and share insights. To apply, submit a Puksta
Scholars application and four essays as described in the application by
February 1, 2008 (refer to the link, below). There will be a limited
number of $4,500 scholarships, which may be renewable based upon available
funding and successful completion of program requirements. www.colorado.edu/AcademicAffairs/UE/pukstaweb/docs/Application_08-09_1_.doc
