Sophomore Externship Program
Selection Process
Students are selected for the Sophomore Externship by the sponsor of the opportunity. In addition to reviewing your cover letter and résumé, sponsors usually conduct telephone interviews with applicants, although interviews are not required. Here are tips (link) on telephone interviewing. Please be as accommodating as possible when a sponsor contacts you for this part of the process. In addition to representing yourself in the most accurate and best possible light, you are also representing Warren Wilson College and generations of students who will follow you. We only have one alumni body, and it is a most precious resource.
All applicants will be notified of their application selection status through electronic mail. Applicants selected to participate in a Sophomore Externship will receive instructions for "next steps" in their notification letter. Please see Timeline for dates.
