Campus Rec Professional Internship

Campus Recreation offers a professional internship each year (sport programs) that is 38 weeks in length, starting in early August thru mid May. The intern is viewed as part of our professional staff team and is expected to work 30-32 hours per week. 

As part of this experience, Campus Recreation provides an Intern Professional Development Program that is tailored to the future goals of each intern. The purpose of this program is to provide each individual with a well-rounded professional preparation experience while at UVM. Each element of this program is designed to help build a foundation of professional experience in an effort to prepare the intern for the next step in their career.

"As a professional intern for Campus Recreation at UVM, I learned so much about myself, my management skills, and my leadership capabilities. One of the biggest takeaways from my experience was the ability to manage my time and prioritize tasks accordingly. This position prepared me to be adaptable and make critical decisions, which has helped me to succeed in my current job. I wouldn't trade my experience for anything!" 

~ Alex Start - Assistant Vice President, Account Manager at Marsh McLennan

"The Fitness Coordinator Internship at UVM was an experience I will never forget and highly recommend to others! The job, my mentors, and my students provided me with all the necessary skills to successfully manage Texas Tech University's large-scale fitness program. I was challenged in a variety of ways that led to my growth...One of my favorite quotes is, "If it does not challenge you, it does not change you" and it holds true for this position. You will be challenge and you will work hard; however, you will have fun and will walk away with all of the hands-on managerial experience, new certifications, presentation and public speaking skills, leadership skills and many other invaluable skills needed to make you a great fitness leader!" 

~ Johanna Valencia - Associate Director, Fitness & Wellness, Texas Tech University, Recreational Sports
