Jeff Chen, Student Conservation Association recruiter, will be at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in late October to inform students about expense-paid internships. He will give a presentation Monday, Oct. 27, in the Murie Building auditorium.

Students are encouraged to bring laptops so they can begin the application process that night.

Each year, SCA places more than 2,000 interns in a diverse array of businesses, public land agencies and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States. Students serve in national parks and historic sites, earning a weekly living allowance and AmeriCorps education awards.

Selected interns receive free travel, training and housing. The opportunities are available to all areas of study, and there are spring break options, leadership opportunities and summer internships in Alaska and Outside.
