I need ideas for internship in Educational Leadership (College)?

Are there any very experienced college admins or faculty out here???

I am a second (and final) year grad student working towards MA Higher Ed Admin. An internship is required, and most of the students in my program are interning in student affairs.

I am interning in academic affairs and I am having some trouble finding “activities” to go along with my internship.

Examples I have come up with are:

*Read through existing materials about the program

*Relate the nature of the department to Higher Ed theory

*Observe the dept chair re: management

*Observe faculty re: teaching

*Assist in data coll, rsch, analysis

*Program assessment

*Present data info to fac/staff

*Review, update, create prog materials for promo

*Implement orientation for new stu

Any ideas, oh wise ones??

Career fairs/job fairs

School fairs

Reading through existing matierals – find a way for that to benefit you and the program: implement changes. Maybe find something that isn’t working well, and implement a plan to change it.

Your list seems really great – just get as much exposure to everything while you can.

Oh, job shadow someone in your targeted career and get ideas from them too.

I am not a college faculty member but I know which options sounds the most interesting to me: data collection, research and analysis. There are so many possibilities to find out interesting things.
