Many of you may not know that March is the wrapping up point of many of the summer programs, internships, etc across the country. Charlie Folsom of UT Knoxville (UTK) wanted me to provide you with 3 great opportunities at UTK that he hopes you will apply for. Two of them will be expiring on March 18, 2011 and one has already expired, but the coordinator will still consider applicants if there are slots still available after he completes reviewing the applicants who made the deadline date. It is my hope that you will share this information to all and allow them to have the opportunity to increase their learning skills and experiences. Please note that many students do not know what they want to major in while in college, but should be given the opportunity to experience their options. Be a guiding light for others to follow.
Below are the opportunities at UTK, click each link to retrieve the information:
