Know a student who you think would be a great representative of George Fox University? Encourage them to apply to be an admissions intern for the 2015-16 school year. This internship can be done for academic credit or as federal student employment.

The business and communications experience alone make it a worthwhile resume-builder. The internship affords the opportunity to build relationships with current students, prospective students and their parents, and the admissions staff.

Applications are available in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions on the second floor of the Stevens Center and are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 20. Questions can be directed to Dorothy Miranda at dmiranda@georgefox.edu.
