International Internships Taskforce
Taskforce Sponsor: Office of International Studies & Programs (OISP), Dean Gilles Bousquet, http://www.wisc.edu/uw-oisp/
Our Charge: Develop resources for OISP to evaluate alternative approaches to promoting international internship opportunities. International internships are defined as a full-time, fixed-duration undergraduate and graduate work experiences -- the experience must be clearly linked to an degree program or major and can be gained abroad or in the U.S. when the position has international responsibilities. Taskforce delivered a draft of these resources to Dean Bousquet in a report in mid May, 2003.
