Executive Interns work toward future The Executive Internship Program enables stu- dents to take a semester leave of school to serve as special assistants to senior officials in the business world. They receive full credit for the semester, but work without pay. Some student ' s programs included photography, legal assistance, radio announcing, and retail clothes buying. Many stu- dents found the experience very worthwhile. Senior Terry Jackman said, Working with retail buying in mens furnishing was very interesting and might be helpful in future employment. 1.
