Students are mentored by professionals in performance organizations for at least nine hours per week (paid or unpaid internship). The intern is to observe, first-hand, day-to-day functions and operations of the organization and given meaningful projects to perform. These duties are to be negotiated among the mentor, UMHB faculty, and intern. The intern's performance is to be evaluated by the mentor and UMHB faculty at the end of the internship. The intern will keep a daily log with simple one-or two-line entries that identify daily tasks, accomplishments, hours worked, and any problems encountered.
