The Hal and Jean Glassen Scholars Program offers students exposure to real-world experience through working full-time as paid interns at state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations or businesses that focus on complex natural resource issues in Michigan. The internship will be a paid 12-week, up to 40-hour-per-week position.
