MSU Career Services seeks intern and internship award nominations

Morehead State University’s Office of Career Services is seeking nominations for awards that include the 2020 MSU Student Intern of the Year, the 2020 Internship Employer of the Year and the 2020 Internship Faculty Supervisor of the Year. Awards are for experiential educational activities during spring 2020, summer 2020, or fall 2020 semesters.   

“Internships are more important than ever for student success as we have developed a new normal during the pandemic. Career Services is excited to continue to recognize excellent faculty supervisors and employers who developed creative strategies to ensure experiential education opportunities are available to our students,” said Megan Boone, director of the Office of Career Services. “The students deserve recognition as well as they make an impact for these employers and develop career skills. We look forward to receiving some great nominations.”  

For the 2020 MSU Student Intern of the Year, any MSU student who had an internship or co-op in the past year and has been considered an outstanding employee is eligible. The selection committee evaluates the intern based on quality and quantity of work, as well as the development of career skills like communication, teamwork and critical thinking. Both employers and MSU departments are encouraged to nominate their interns for this award.  

For the 2020 Internship Employer of the Year, any employer who has hosted an MSU student intern in the past year and has been considered a great internship host may be nominated. The selection committee evaluates how well the intern felt trained and the quality of specific learning objectives set by the employer. We ask that students who have interned on or off-campus consider nominating their employer for this award.  

For the 2020 Internship Faculty Supervisor of the Year, any faculty who supported students’ experiential education during the past year and was considered a great mentor is eligible. The selection committee evaluates on how the faculty devoted the extra effort or resources to prepare students for the experiential activity, collaborated in a way that complements class instruction and demonstrated commitment to student success.  

To be considered for the awards, please email a completed copy of nomination forms to careerservices@moreheadstate.edu by Friday, March 12. The awards will be presented virtually to all winners and award recipients will be recognized on social media.
