already started your internship assignment, and have gone through a
brief orientation at your work site. Great! Remember to journalize
your activities. Obtain regular feedback from your supervisor to
assure that you're on the right track. If possible, have a sit down
brief meeting mid-way through your internship to review how things
are progressing, and to discuss what remains for the second half of
your internship period. Remember to submit your one-page mid-report
via email to your Faculty Internship Coordinator, as well as the
evaluations and final report on their due dates. Reminder: Report
