  In-person (where possible) final interview teams may include advancement and technology executives, tech internship alumni, and other partners critical to the internship.

• Selection

  Foundation staff will conduct reference checks for finalists, and competitive offers will be made to top candidates.

• Onboarding

  Project decisions and orientation will be held in the spring semester.

  The internship begins one week after the close of the Spring Semester.

  Idea onboarding, partner introductions, advancement 101 training, information security and privacy training, and project management training all occur in week 1.

  Tech interns begin working on their projects by week 2.

• Building

  Tech interns spend nine weeks developing their new technologies, meeting with advisors and partners, developing a narrative about the products, documenting business and tech processes, and incorporating feedback.

• Showcase

  In week 11, interns present their products to advisors, partners, the UI advancement community, and other industry influencers and begin transitioning/training the UI team on how to incorporate the product into day-to-day operations.

  Final wrap-up of the project and internship happens in week 12, with the internship closing one week before the start of the Fall Semester.
