TIMELINE FOR JANUARY 2010 DELEGATION
MARCH 27 - LSA budget due
APRIL/MAY
Recruiting of 2Ls and 3Ls
JUNE/JULY
Board of Visitors Event in the Hamptons
SEPTEMBER
Recruiting 1Ls
OCTOBER
A student - usually the volunteer from the previous year - will contact each Mississippi-host organization in early October to confirm that
(1) the organization is interested in having a CUNY intern for 2 weeks in January 2010,
(2) how many interns the organization would like to have/can use,
(3) what projects/initiatives/assignments the intern(s) will either have to work on or be able to choose to work on and who the supervisors are for these potential projects. This does not need to be an overly detailed description but knowing who is in the supervisory role for each project will be crucial! The student will take this information back to our student committee at CUNY.
NOVEMBER 1
The student committee will examine the needs of ALL the host organizations and decide who and how many students will be assigned to each host by November 1.
NOVEMBER 2-16
In November, the CUNY student(s) who plan to come to each organization will contact the organization and the supervisor(s) they want to work with directly to confirm and should hear back from supervisors at the organization by November 16, leaving students ample time to make travel arrangements.
NOVEMBER 16-END OF DECEMBER
Between November 16 and the end of December, the student(s) and their placement supervisors should be in touch in preparation for a really productive 2 weeks. This is a great time for supervisors to share any preliminary or background materials about projects that they would like the student(s) to have so that they can hit the ground running.
JANUARY 4-15
The internship - Each volunteer is agreeing to work 8 hours a day, Mondays thru Fridays, with 1/2 for lunch. The volunteer may request additional hours/work, but we respectfully request that the supervisor refrain from requesting that any volunteer work more than 40 hours each week, or on the weekends.
