Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

• Build mentorship programs with students who will act as mentors: Working with the Chair, the Jarislowsky intern would help to develop individually-designed consultations and in- classroom consultations where students act as in the capacity of an advisor/mentor for faculty
• Build a network of teaching champions: target emerging leaders and novice practitioners and well as award winning teachers and leaders in each department and faculty to build networks of grassroots support and engagement.
• Help run student-focused events
• Help coordinate the BU Teaching and Learning Week with a strong focus on students as partners in the classroom and beyond
• Help build capacities for experiential learning: coordinate with different groups/departments on campus to create a database of experiential learning: collect data, design metrics, measure impact. Use evidence-based theoretical models, i.e., Authentic learning design principles.
• Build capacities around teaching and learning in new platforms, e.g. digital, virtual, online, gaming, simulations.
• Help the Chair build capacities for educational leadership: Develop more formal support for professors and students to develop dossiers for national and international teaching and leadership awards (i.e., 3M National Teaching Fellowship, 3M Student Fellowships, Rhodes Scholarships).
