PPW Intern Perspectives  
 

Public and Professional Writing (PPW) internships are distinct from many other internships offered at the University in that they are designed to focus closely on the theory and practice of writing, and they involve a significant intellectual exploration of the Public and Professional Writing internship experience.

This page offers you insights into the experiences of PPW interns, as told in their own words.

You can also access a list of interns organized by site.

If you want to learn more about how you can get a PPW internship, visit the PPW Internship page.
