Does the internship provide housing or travel
arrangements?
No,
interns must arrange housing and travel to and from Atlanta on their own;–
however, information about summer housing in Atlanta can be found under the
“Housing and Transportation” tab of this website. Although travel from interns’
residences to the Chamblee Campus location is the intern’s responsibility,
information will be provided about public transportation and carpool/vanpool
options. The internship stipend is intended to offset housing and travel
expenses.
What will my status at CDC be as a student intern?
As a student intern, you will be considered a “guest researcher” at CDC. This means that you will be allowed to attend all open-enrollment seminars and lectures, as well as use CDC facilities such as the gym. Once you receive your badge (should occur during the first week) and car stickers, you will have access to CDC buildings and will have computer access in your office.
What will the weekly schedule be?
The first week will be filled with orientation activities such as ensuring access to CDC computer and other systems, setting up offices, meeting co-workers, and learning about projects. Weeks 2-8 will be filled with ongoing project involvement and weekly activities. Week 9 will be spent putting together a final presentation. Week 10 will include the final presentation and a number of “closing” activities.
