A3B-LanciBter Farming, Saturday, July 18, 1992
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) Thanks to a new computer
file that organizes and describes
almost 500 national and interna
tional internships, students in
Penn State’s College of Agricul
tural Sciences can search for the
internship they feel best suits their
personal and academic needs.
“In the past, we’d publicize job
availability through counseling
sessions, putting notices on bulle
tin boards or passing out flyers in
class,” said Dr. James E. Dia
mond, assistant professor of agri
cultural extension and coordinator
of the college’s internship
programs.
“We had all this information in
big stacks of paper in each of the
departments,” he said. “Although
this system may have seemed
effective, it’s possible that some
students were not sure of all their
options in the internship program.
“Now our undergraduates can
access computers that feature our
new database,” he said. “Across
the college’s 20 undergraduate
programs, the database currently
contains derails on 476 summer
internships offered by private cor
porations and government offices
in the U.S. and abroad.
“A wide range of positions are
available in research, production
and marketing throughout the
agricultural industry,” he said. “A
qualified student may get an
internship as an assistant wildlife
biologist, a greenskeeper trainee,
an animal health technician or a
sales data and market research
assistant.
‘There is even a summer posi
tion at Disney World’s EPCOT
Center, where the intern is respon
sible for helping to manage about
30 crops for the Kraft General
Foods exhibit The Land.”
Students can review the intern
ship file on a personal computer in
the new Agricultural Sciences and
Industry Building’s Learning
Resource Center. Copies of the

Database Helps Ag Students
file also have been provided to
Penn State’s agriculture sorority
and four fraternities.
“Students just type their
academic discipline into the com
puter, and the program displays all
the information for internships
they are qualified to apply for,” he
said.
Besides providing the name and
address of each sponsor, Diamond
said the database gives students a
point of contact, the person’s
phone number, wage information
and a specific job description.
While many of the internships
are offered' by U.S. companies,
there are opportunities worldwide.
“I’ve had students work for agri
culture ministries in Haiti and the
Republic of Mali,” Diamond said.
“This summer, a student from
Sugarloaf, majoring in agricultur
al sciences is working as a scien
tist’s assistant in forages in the
Department of Agriculture for
Northern Ireland. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture and an
international association for
exchange students are sponsoring
this internship program.”
Many internship sponsors offer
to pay summer interns, but wage
agreements vary and are nego
tiated between students and their
summer employers.
In addition to the potential for
summer income and the comple
tion of degree requirements. Dia
mond said an internship gives a
student the opportunity to experi
ence a profession before making a
career commitment
“Sometimes, students have
their hearts set on a specific career
until they spend a summer on the
job,” he said. “Although they may
have done very well, some decide
they would be happier in another
profession related to their disci
pline. It’s important to be able to
have enough information to
switch careers before you gradu
ate, rather than work in a job for a
few years and then try to change.”
Diamond said undergraduates
are encouraged to take the intern
ship course during the summer
between their junior and senior
years.
