Guidance on hiring and recruiting students during the COVID-19 response

Student works at a desk

We know that students, faculty, and our campus, business, industry and community partners are navigating new and unique challenges as a consequence of the coronavirus.

With mandatory closures of many organizations, social distancing requirements, and “shelter in place” orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unlikely that many interns will be able to complete their internships on-site as planned.

However, we want you to know that we are here to help as you navigate questions and consider how and when to move forward in this new environment.
