In order to ensure the best internship experience for students from diverse backgrounds,
we suggest the following best practices:
Offer at least one networking opportunity for your student intern.
Introduce them to a casual mentor as a point of contact at your company.
Establish a system for supervisors to give formal guidance and direction, set expectations,
explain deliverables and provide performance feedback at the conclusion of the internship.
There are over 650 student clubs and organizations at Binghamton University, with
new ones continually added. All University-affiliated organizations and clubs can
