student info form

All students interested in an internship are instructed to do the following:

  • Meet with the Director of Internships, Roslyn Colón, in Old Main 013 who will explain how the program works and assist you in planning your internship according to your academic or career interests, and type of internship you are interested in doing – credit vs non-credit, paid vs unpaid.  Referrals to academic departments and faculty for additional information and assistance may be suggested at that meeting.
  • In addition to meeting with the director, contact the Career Center to sign-up for an internship orientation meeting and learn important information about the program. 
  • Attend other workshops offered through the internship program to assist you in writing a resume, search procedures, interviewing and follow-up methods.
  • Register on the College Central system.  College Central is an on-line database of internship and job postings.  It also allows you to view internships  and apply electronically once your resume is uploaded into the system and approved.  Go to www.collegecentral.com/canisius to register today.
  • Create a resume and have it approved.  Employers require a resume at the time of application.  The Career Center staff and director of internships can help  you compose a new resume or polish one you already have.
  • If you are not on campus presently, you can also complete and submit the Student Information Form below.  This notifies the director you are interested in participating in the program, and you will be contacted.
