New director of internships, community outreach

Alison Stone-Briggs is the new director of community outreach and academic internships. Stone-Briggs has worked at BU for over 11 years, previously as the associate director of the Corporate Institute. Stone-Briggs' role will be to provide centralized and cooperative services for BU students and employers, and enable access to faculty-directed internships. Additionally, she will facilitate the growth of a quality internship program by creating and developing, along with the faculty internship advisory committee, new internship opportunities to meet departmental needs.

"The academic internship program is a wonderful opportunity for students to acquire in-the-field experience in the major they have chosen," said Stone-Briggs. "I look forward to working closely with deans, department chairs and faculty to establish sites for an excellent internship program at Bloomsburg University."

The community outreach portion of Stone-Briggs' job is to meet with companies to discuss training needs and match those needs with funding initiatives. Developing corporate contacts will help to broaden the reach of the internship program.
