Frequently Asked Questions for SIP Interns (and Parents)


What kind of behavior is expected of interns during the program?

Communication

  • Interns are expected to communicate regularly with their mentor. If they are going to miss a meeting, experience a delay, or are unsure about anything, they should inform their mentor promptly.
  • Interns must check their email daily. It is the primary method of communication used by SIP staff and mentors to share important updates.
Demeanor
  • Interns will be working in a professional environment with many different people. Interns should make sure to follow procedures about locking up and safety, moderating their voices inside, and keeping their space clean and trash-free.
