Students interested in internships should begin by contacting:

Professors Bublitz, Jenkins, or Zhao for internships in Journalism, TV or radio production and Public Relations. Their email addresses are, respectively, dbublitz@cameron.edu, mattj@cameron.edu, and yzhao@cameron.edu.

Professor Carney (wcarney@cameron.edu) or Professor Leah Chaffins (lellis@cameron.edu) for internships in Writing and English.

These professors will guide you through the process of setting up an internship. It would be best to contact the professor in the semester before the internship is to be undertaken. The contact professor will work out the appropriate agreement with the internship partner and gain appropriate approvals for enrollment.
