Fuse Facotyr Internship

Here is an internship opportunity. If it is of interest to you, or if you have any questions about it, contact Alison (her email is at the end). If it works out and you want to sign up for internship credit, then contact me regarding the credit hours you'd like to sign up for (2 or 5 credits). Interships are graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, so they do show up on your transcripts, but they do not actually count towards your degree since all courses towards your Art degree must be graded courses.
