Site Supervisors
A significant number of graduates speak highly of their internship experience; in fact, they quite often regard their site supervisor as one of the most influential people in their professional development.
In order to maximize the positive impact on the intern, each site supervisor is asked to review the Site Supervisor Training PowerPoint and complete the brief survey on the last slide.
