Chancellor's Undergraduate Internship Program Eligibility
and Requirements: ELIGIBILITY: CUIP is an opportunity for undergraduate
students in good standing (academic and judicial) in any major
with at least one quarter at UCSC. Interns must be continuously
enrolled as full time students during both the application
process and the academic year of the internship.
TIME COMMITMENT: Three academic quarters, Fall through
Spring. Interns work an average of 15 hours per week, 150
hours per quarter. Precise work schedules, tasks and deadlines
are negotiated between the mentor and intern.
Interns are also required to attend a 2 unit course led by
the Dean of Undergraduate Education. The Leadership and Institution
Building course is required of all CUIP participants. The
course is held on Monday evenings from 5-6:45 pm during both
Fall and Spring Quarters.
- Part of the class is devoted to skill building focusing
on proposal writing and presentation skills.
- Another part is focused on learning about leadership skills
and how leaders work with constituent groups to reach consensus,
generate solutions, and develop and implement plans.
Through a series of lectures and discussions lead by senior
administrators, students will be introduced to the challenges
faced in building an institution such as the University of
California and specifically, UC Santa Cruz. Students will
have the opportunity to discuss current issues with campus
leaders and suggest solutions.
Course requirements include: attendance at all classes, required
readings, assigned projects, and formal presentations of project
proposal (fall) and of completed project (spring).
