Below are the details that my virtual assistant compiled a few months ago as it relates to hiring an intern from the local schools.
As I mentioned, I currently have one that I use from Sacred Heart.
INTERN INFORMATION:
Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT
Two ways to get an intern, paid or unpaid:
1. PAID (via Career Development Office)

School of Biz
Jrs and Seniors, for academic credit. Must be within their major (i.e. Marketing Majors)
She maintains intern database. Send her the job description, the company, needed qualifications of the student that we're looking for. Runs by semester, so majority do internships during the fall and spring semester, a few during the summer. They tend to do internships in senior year for credit and/or get paid. For credit during summer, they have to pay for a 3 credit course (which stops some of them if they're not getting paid). During school year, require work 12-15 hrs per week, and also has to do a paper. Approved for credit based on the job description, the Chair of Mktg dept would look at job description to see if could be done for academic credit. Some of job responsibilites have to be significant (i.e. not just data entry or photocopying), Some of that is okay, but it can't be limited to that.
