Partnering with faculty: A collaborative approach
Faculty partnership is central to the success of New College internships. The New College internship manager works closely with faculty to ensure that all internships align with program learning outcomes and uphold the academic expectations of the program.
- Faculty play an essential role in reviewing and approving all internships before students can earn academic credit.
- The internship manager collaborates with faculty leads and program directors to confirm that internship sites and duties meet academic and university standards.
Help us grow our network of internship partners.
When faculty have professional contacts or relationships with organizations interested in hosting New College interns, they are invited to connect those potential partners with Diane Mallory, internship manager. Partnering with new sites helps expand valuable, real-world learning opportunities for our students.
New College internship approval process (centralized internships)
The following process applies to New College 484 and 584 internship courses coordinated by the internship manager.
All approvals are submitted and managed through Handshake, the university’s platform for internships, jobs, and events.
Step-by-step process:
Faculty-directed experiential learning
Documentation and reporting requirements
Some internships and experiential learning opportunities are faculty-directed, including (but not limited to) faculty-taught 484 and 584 internship courses, service learning, research, field experiences, faculty-directed study abroad, and domestic field trips.
Faculty-directed experiential learning may be subject to university documentation and compliance requirements, which vary based on the type and location of the experience. New College faculty involved in these activities are responsible for ensuring that all required university procedures and documentation are completed. This applies to any experience offered for academic credit, in any modality (in-person, virtual, or hybrid).
The Office of Risk Management periodically requests information about Out-of-State Learning Placements (OOSLP). Faculty who coordinate or supervise out-of-state experiences may be contacted to provide data for reporting and compliance purposes.
New College faculty seeking guidance on documentation or compliance requirements are encouraged to contact the New College internship manager or the New College state authorization liaison. These offices can assist in determining the correct forms, approvals, and university contacts for each type of experience.
For faculty-directed internship experiences, the University-wide Internship Application (UIA) and/or Student Placement Agreement (SPA) are still required and are managed by Diane Mallory, internship manager.
