What participants have said about the NODA Internship Program...

From the candidates...
"The single best part for me was not the responsibilities that I was given.  Rather I was most impressed by my supervisors and their care, support and professionalism.  I have learned so many things from them and about the kind of people that I want to work with....what a great summer.  I am forever changed through my experience..."

"This internship exceeded my expectations and goals!  As an intern, I was given numerous responsibilities beyond what I had expected - excellent summer internship!"

"This is an amazing opportunity to broaden a student's exposure to different university types.  I have spent my academic career at 4 year private universities.  I now know that I want to work for a large, public university."

"I learned so much about the institution that it made working here very comfortable.  My experiences as a small school will definitely help me in my job search."

"I began the internship knowing that I had a professional interest in orientation programs. When it was completed I felt that I had gained a very in-depth understanding of how to coordinate a successful orientation program."

"The application/interview process was very 'user-friendly' and gave me a great opportunity to work with a new institution."

"I loved being able to gain experience in several areas of the University.  Additional requirements and those assigned vaulted this experience into one of my favorite and most rewarding!"

"The NODA Internship is a great opportunity for anyone looking to make a career in student affairs."

From the host institutions...

I was very satisfied with the organization from NODA.  It was a great first time experience, and we will definitely do it again!"

"We had a wonderful experience with out NODA intern.  I believe both he and I learned a great deal from the experience.  The program is a definite plus for institutions that do not have graduate programs in Student Affairs, and also run orientation out of an academic office."

"It is extremely important to evaluate the purpose of an intern, their level of graduate experience, and the time commitment necessary for supervision."

"It filled an important gap in office - I am already making plans to offer another intern position in our office next summer!"

"Well-organized, good communication, deadlines adhered to, easy to follow directions. I was very impressed!"
