Internships consists of a minimum of 200-hours over 10 weeks during the summer. Students also participate in a concurrent virtual, asynchronous course designed to explore and engage with the topic of public service while building their career readiness and professionalism skills.
The RSSI course is meant to ground students' experience in their public service internships, providing them with the theoretical foundation and professional and civic skillset and enhance career readiness to thrive in their internship site and their communities. Through readings, reflections, and virtual discussions, students will explore and engage with the topic of public service while building their career readiness and professionalism. Specifically, students will consider the connection between public service and democratic citizenship, learn from difference, and bring these lessons into their career journey.
Instructors will work together and under the direction of the RSSI Rutgers faculty who designed the curriculum to implement the course and evaluate students' experience. Instructors serve as students' primary point of contact. Responsibilities will entail grading weekly reflection assignments, answering questions on the materials, tracking completion of course requirements, collecting and grading weekly assignments, engaging in online discussions when needed, supporting students with their cumulative course project, and engaging in other methods of evaluation. Instructors may meet one-one-one with students mid-semester, participate in 2 synchronous sessions with the entire RSSI cohort, and assist with preparation for the fall RSSI symposium event (mid-September) as needed.
