This fall I am not planning to meet with every department and program, as I did last fall. However, I am deeply invested in maintaining relationships with each of you and hearing your suggestions, concerns, and questions. I welcome invitations to meet, or to attend a department/program meeting. Please be in touch!

Are you a Faculty member who supervises a number of students participating in internships for credit per quarter? Would you prefer for students to appear in one Canvas section? There is a solution: standardize the internship title students indicate on the Internship Request Form. As a department, determine a standard title that all of your students will utilize. When the Registrar registers students, they should then group all students in one course section, hence one Canvas course. We encourage you to coach students into using the specific and unique internship position tile on their resume, which more accurately reflects the work they are doing. If you have questions about this, please contact me: brownt2@seattleu.edu or 206-296-6982.
