The University of Iowa Center for Advancement (UICA) is currently providing opportunities for full time paid Summer Internships. UICA encourages undergraduate students from all backgrounds to explore careers in nonprofit settings, promote engagement with the University of Iowa, support and advance the university and its programs through meaningful pre-professional opportunities, and support potential graduates to obtain roles within our organization.
The UICA will provide 11 intern opportunities that provide 10 weeks of work experience, June 3 - August 9. Internships are open to undergraduate rising sophomores through December 2024 graduates from any college or university. Interns will earn $18/hour and will be provided with the flexibility and technology to work from home two days per week if desired. Up to five unpaid vacation days will be available throughout the Internship Program if desired. At the conclusion of the internship, all interns are expected to give a final presentation highlighting their experience and projects they have worked on. Housing and benefits are not available as part of the intern experience and interns must be within driving distance of our Iowa City, IA office.
