Charge: This group is assessing the landscape of internships and other related, similarly-named high impact practices (HIP) at the university (student teaching, clinical placement, experiential learning experience, applied learning experience, field experience, etc.) in order to understand how internships/HIPs are currently operating so that they can be consistently tracked, assessed, given appropriate support (resources and personnel), and expanded to strengthen their value and ensure all students have the opportunity to participate. The group is reviewing the response from JMU to SCHEV’s questionnaire related to internships from Spring 2022. The group supports JMU's responses to additional requests from SCHEV and Governor’s office related to expanding internship opportunities, and is positioned to assist with submissions for funding that may be available from SCHEV and other entities (e.g., Commonwealth Innovative Internship Fund and Program | Virginia State Council Of Higher Education, VA (schev.edu)). The group will make recommendations related to better centralizing, formalizing, documenting and growing our internship operations.
