Students work more this summer

Many UI students spend summertime in the real world working – conducting internships in such fields as astronomy, engineering, physics, marine biology, business and political science.

Internships are valuable experiences that give students a chance to preview a particular career or professional path and enables them to see the future more clearly, said Suzi Billington, director of Career and Professional Planning.

“It’s a way to achieve personal success by gaining the skills and experiences that students need after graduation,” she said.

UI legal clinic gears up for fall semester

UI’s Small Business Legal Clinic once again will provide legal assistance throughout the state this fall.

UI’s College of Law and the Idaho Small Business Development Center opened the clinic in the fall of 2003.

Since its inception, third-year UI law students located in Moscow have assisted more than 20 new businesses statewide with business formation, preparation and review of employment agreements and review of commercial leases.

For non-profit organizations, law students prepare and handle applications for tax-exempt status.
