Internships
On-Campus
Prior to the DEEDS Program, Pres students participated in internships on-campus through the “Student Volunteer Internship Program” or “SVIP”. The DEEDS Program builds on this work by matching interested students from any grade level with Pres departments in need of entry-level, administrative, technical, and operational support.
