We invite students to apply to our new internship program, VITAL4NR. Eligibility is open to all students in any QCNR major, or exploratory students interested in a QCNR major, who are members of one of the federally recognized tribes in and around Utah.
The program is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture New Beginning for Tribal Students program.
Selected students may apply for any of our paid QCNR summer internships with federal and state agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations, or work as paid summer research assistants with QCNR faculty.
In addition, students will participate in culturally-relevant programs and cohort-building activities to prepare for the internships and support community among participants and mentors. The program will include opportunities for enhancing students' leadership skills, resumes, sense of belonging, and professional readiness.
Applications will open in late Fall 2024. For more information, please fill out this form.
All QCNR summer interns will enroll in a one-credit 7-week Spring course (NR 4151) to help prepare for their internship and a one-credit 7-week Fall course (NR 4152) to reflect on and communicate their internship achievements. Students may also choose to earn course credit during their summer internship.
