The Daily Bruin

We still have some great internships to offer this year in our Career Services office. Our past interns have had exceptional experiences, growing professionally. You will learn how to plan, market and execute events along with administrative records management, budget, communication, and public relations training. These internships must be set up for credit through you academic advisor.

Go to BruinCareers for more information or contact Sidney at ext. 2330 or atcareers@georgefox.edu. We might be just what you need and vice versa.

Are you involved with a club on campus? Would you like to make other students aware of your club?

If you would like for your club to be represented, please make plans to reserve your half of a table by contacting Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.
