(Some departments choose to pay 100% of student stipends in order to participate because Chancellor's matching funds are limited to 26 internships.) Changes in registration fees can change the cost at any time. Please refer to the Registrar's web site for a current breakdown of fees.

Benefit:
450 hours of high quality work on a high priority project.

Examples of Previous CUIP internships:

  • MARKETING efforts for the Career Center;
  • STUDENT RECRUITMENT and RETENTION for Student Organization Advising and Resources, and Oakes College;
  • TECHNICAL SUPPORT and analysis, including inventory of trees for Landscape Management, and assessment survey analysis for the Library, Housing, and Instructional Computing;
  • PROGRAM SUPPORT for the Cowell College Diversity Program, Sesnon Art Gallery School Outreach, Student Health Outreach Programs and Wellness Center.

...and MORE!

Working with a mentor, CUIP interns take a lead role on a project or program important to the UCSC community. Interns participate in a weekly class designed to strengthen their leadership skills. Through the class they interact with the Chancellor and high ranking campus administrators, and make an array of peer contacts among student leaders. CUIP interns gain firsthand knowledge of the goals and operations of campus administration, and become powerful advocates in the campus community and beyond.
