New program steps up internships for UMaine graduate students

Many colleges offer summer internship programs for their undergraduate students. Now the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center is making that opportunity more accessible to graduate and professional students in the University of Maine School of Law, the University of Maine Graduate School of Business, and the University of Southern Maine’s Muskie School of Public Service.  The Maine Center Graduate Internship Program comes with a twist. Typically, internships pair, say, law students with law firms. “We didn’t want to do that,” Terry Sutton, CEO of Maine Center Ventures, told Mainebiz. Maine Center Ventures is a nonprofit that supports the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center by serving as a liaison between the academic and employer communities.
