D'Aneillo Interns Spring 2008

The program will offer 20 student internship appointments during the 2007-08 school year. These appointments will require student interns to work directly with an entrepreneur, president, or senior executive in a high-growth, innovative company located in the greater-Syracuse metropolitan area. Interns will be expected to add meaningful value to the work environment and to produce a number of useful deliverables to company management. Interns may also take an independent study in order to meet certain curriculum requirements.

Being selected as a D'Aniello intern is both an honor and a challenge. Interns will be able to participate in exciting, hands-on, experience-based learning opportunities in entrepreneurial work environments.


Student Eligibility Requirements

Seniors or graduate students in good standing enrolled in Syracuse University are eligible for the program. Candidates must have strong grade point averages, evidence of extracurricular involvement, and an interest in entrepreneurship. D'Aniello intern candidates are required to enroll for independent study/experiential learning credit and to work between 15 and 20 hours per week for at least 13 weeks with their host company.
