PAID Graduate Student Opportunity!

The John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education (Gardner Institute) is looking for a Graduate Intern for Fall 2023!

Interns are given the opportunity to collaborate alongside Gardner Institute staff on work related to student success and increasing equity in higher education. Each intern is expected to work 15-20 hours per week and complete a project by the end of their term.

For fall 2023, the Gardner Institute is looking for a student intern to work in our data analysis and research area. The internship will consist of the use of mixed methodology designs to combine publicly available institutional data with participant data from the Gardner Institute platform to assess the impact of structured institutional self-study and planning on a potential variety of student success efforts including course pedagogy, curricular redesign, and retention programming. Student interns will work with guidance from the Gardner staff to plan, design, gather data for, and evaluate the self-study process. The internship is ideally suited for anyone who has interest in data analysis, program evaluation, assessment, or institutional research/effectiveness careers in educational settings.

Interns will receive a stipend of $1,500 per semester and academic credit may also be available. All internships are online at this time.
