Through the support of donors, the Catt Center offers paid internships to undergraduate students to work on special projects, events, or research sponsored by the center. In some cases, these internships can be used to fulfill an internship requirement for a major.
Most internships are fall through spring of an academic year, though sometimes internships are available in the summer. Positions are typically filled in late spring for the following academic year, but sometimes internships are available to start in January. Applications must be submitted via the online application form (link in the position descriptions).
Open undergraduate internships for the 2025-2026 academic year include the following positions. Applications are open through April 20, 2025.
